Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the press ahead of this weekend's Sky Bet League One clash with Bristol City, and has shared the latest news on injured midfielder Sam Mantom, who is yet to make an appearance this season.
Speaking to Sporting Life, Smith said: "He is frustrated with it, after the Villa game we thought he'd be pushing for the first game of the season and we're at the 10th game now so it's disappointing.
"We don't want to put him under any pressure, he's putting pressure on himself to get back but he's getting closer."
