U's captain Chris Coyne has been named in the squad for Saturday's game against Walsall, having recovered from his calf injury.

Coyney had missed the U's last two games, but returned to action in the 2-1 Essex Senior Cup win over Aveley in midweek.

And, ahead of his late night flight on Saturday to Bahrain for Australia's latest international, he is back in the squad for the game against the Saddlers.

Dean Hammond is also back in contention after completing his one game suspension, whilst Lee Hills is also available having signed on loan earlier this week from Crystal Palace.

Lee's arrival gives manager Paul Lambert pleasant selection headaches with Johnnie Jackson having performed excellently in the left back spot since the new manager's arrival.

U's: Gerken, Cousins, White, Heath, Coyne, Baldwin, Hills, Ifil, Jackson, Izzet, Perkins, D. Hammond, Yeates, Wordsworth, Platt, Williams, Wasiu, Vernon
