SHOCKING: Walsall loan man from Birmingham City | Plans revealed

Walsall midfielder George Hall is a ‘doubt’ for their upcoming Carabao Cup match against Leicester City, according to a report by the Express & Star. Hall joined Walsall on loan from Birmingham City during the last transfer window.

George Hall, 20, missed Walsall’s recent 2-0 win at Salford City due to a back injury, with goals from Nathan Lowe and Charlie Lakin securing the victory. Manager Mat Sadler provided an update, telling the *Express & Star* that Hall’s injury isn’t a major concern, as the back spasm is improving quickly. While unsure if Hall will be fit for Saturday, Sadler is hopeful for a speedy recovery.

Birmingham City allowed George Hall to leave on loan to gain valuable first-team experience. Having been with the club throughout his career and progressing through their academy, Hall has made 41 appearances and scored twice for the senior team. Now at Walsall, he’s eager to get significant playing time to aid his development. However, missing the upcoming game against Leicester City would be a setback, especially with the Foxes recently promoted to the Premier League under Enzo Maresca, before his departure to Chelsea and Steve Cooper’s appointment.
