Freddie Draper to Miss the First Two Games of the Season

The hot prospect will be unavailable for selection for the first two games of the season.

The Saddlers will have to do without one of their new strikers for the first two games of the season as he is due to serve a ban carried over from a recent loan spell.

On-loan Lincoln City forward Freddie Draper will be unavailable for Walsall's League Two clash with Morecambe and the Carabao Cup - Round One meeting with Blackburn Rovers after picking up a straight red card during his loan at Drogheda United in June.

Only serving one of his three-match suspension the 19-year-old, who was on the scoresheet during a recent behind-closed-doors victory over West Bromwich Albion U21s, faces a brief spell on the sidelines.
