Walsall boss Michael Flynn has confirmed that midfielder Jack Earing is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being forced off during the Saddlers' League Two defeat to Tranmere Rovers.
Earing, who has found match minutes hard to come by so far this season, could miss around twelve weeks of action with Flynn confirming he suffered an Achilles injury.
The 23-year-old former FC Halifax Town prospect is the latest in a long line of injury issues which have plagued the Saddlers so far this season, and will do little to ease the woes of the gaffer heading into a must-win game.
Speaking to the media ahead of this weekend's visit to Stockport County, Flynn confirmed; "The injuries, I’ve not been able to play my best team because they’re injured.

"When we get one back, another one seems to go out. Jack Earing is out now for possibly twelve weeks.
"That’s another kick in the teeth. It’s relentless. I’ve never known anything like it. It’s frustrating, it’s painful, but we’ve still got to step up.
"We’ve got be a little bit more switched on than we have been."
