Walsall are facing up to losing both Pablo Mills and Simon Osborn for two crucial matches in the relegation battle.
Mills and Osborn both collected their 10th yellow cards of the season in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Swansea.
They will be available for Friday’s League One trip to Tranmere, but they will miss the home matches against Yeovil and Bradford on March 21 and 25.

“Both Pablo and Ozzy picked up their 10th bookings and they will both be big players to replace,” said Broadhurst. “But Ian Roper will be available next week and hopefully Dean Keates and Daniel Fox will be back as well.

I was also very pleased with the way Chris Westwood came back from his injury. I thought he was absolutely enormous when he went on.

I was disappointed for the two lads who got booked because in both cases I thought it was down to poor defending.

On both occasions poor defending from other players forced Pablo and Ozzy to make the tackles that got them booked.”
