Walsall vs Port Vale - Sean O'Driscoll waits on Tom Bradshaw ahead of Walsall bow



Posted Friday, December 18, 2015 by PA

New Walsall head coach Sean O'Driscoll is sweating on Tom Bradshaw's fitness for Sunday's visit of Port Vale.

The striker is carrying an ankle injury he suffered against Shrewsbury at the start of the month and the club will not rush him back to action.

O'Driscoll penned an 18-month deal with the Saddlers on Friday to replace Dean Smith, with interim management team Jon Witney, Neil Cutler and John Ward all staying on.

Isaiah Osbourne is closing in on a return from a knee injury which has sidelined him since the start of the season.

Vale remain without defender Carl Dickinson as he serves the last match of his three-game suspension.

Forward Byron Moore, who has been in training to work his way back to fitness after a hamstring problem, may return for his first involvement in four games.

The only other injury in Rob Page's squad is the knee issue that has ruled winger Enoch Andoh out for the rest of the season.

If defender Ben Purkiss plays, he will be coming up against the club he left to join Vale over the summer.
