LATEST: COOK INJURY UPDATE

Walsall Football Club will have to wait to find out the full extent of striker Jordan Cook's injury as the new-recruits ankle is still too swollen to undergo a scan.

Walsall Football Club will have to wait to find out the full extent of striker Jordan Cook's injury as the new-recruits ankle is still too swollen to undergo a scan.

24 year-old, Sunderland-born Cook was stretchered off in the first half of Saturday’s 2-1 friendly defeat at Torquay United, having gone over awkwardly on his ankle.

He underwent an x-ray on Monday but was deemed to be unsuitable for a scan as his foot and ankle are still swollen.

Walsall manager Dean Smith spoke to the Walsall Advertiser about the injury, and expressed his hope for good news ahead of this weekends' friendly away to Leamington, he said; “We are waiting for the swelling to go down on Jordan’s ankle until we find out the damage but I am planning without him at the moment.

“It would be stupid not to – if he does get back to fitness in time, then brilliant, but I’m going to plan as if he is not there.

“We’re hoping it’s something similar to Ben’s injury but if it’s more serious he could be out for a few weeks.

“It’s a shame because Jordan has looked really sharp and I have been really pleased with everything he has done so far.”

"We might look to sign someone else but I can also use the loan market so there are a number of possible options for us."
