Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the local press ahead of this weekend's Sky Bet League 1 clash with Chesterfield, and has praised on-loan Leicester City midfielder Michael Cain for swiftly apologising to his team-mates following his social media outburst after being forced sitting out the Saddlers' Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final defeat to Bristol City.

Speaking to BBC WM, Smith said; "I was quite proud of him for doing that. It would have been easy not to and we didn't ask him to. I can understand him being angry at not getting on. I didn't expect him to be skipping out of Wembley if he hasn't played.

"But his reaction in saying what he has and coming in and training the way he did was great. He knows he was wrong, but it's an experience he'll learn from.

"An awful lot has been made of the choice between Mantom and Cain, but it wasn't as cut and dried as to who was playing the better. Sam had done well in the two games previously and deserved his place, but Michael had an illness at the start of the week and that also came into my thinking."
