Injury update provided as Wycombe look ahead to Wealdstone in the FA Cup

Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has provided an injury update on several members of the club’s first team.

Despite winning the last 10 competitive matches in a row, the Chairboys are still missing a handful of key players.

Some are expected to be back soon, whilst others will remain absent until the New Year.

Speaking on specific players, Bloomfield told the Free Press after the midweek win over Mansfield Town on November 26: “Tyreeq [Bakinson] is very close and I hope to have him back in the squad for the weekend against Wealdstone.

“But Josh [Scowen] won’t be back.

“He’ll be out for a little while which is a shame.

“Kieran [Sadlier] put something out on social media [about his injury] and he should be back in a couple of weeks, if not sooner, and Gideon [Kodua], should be back by Christmas.

“Also, Sam Vokes is back on the grass which is great news.

“We want the competition for places.”

Despite the lengthy injury list, Wycombe sit top of the League One table, four points clear of second place Wrexham.

But the league will not be the priority this weekend as Wanderers face Wealdstone in the second round of the FA Cup in which changes are expected.

If Wycombe progress, they could land themselves a lucrative home or away tie against a Premier League side in the third round.

Bloomfield added: “There will be changes for Wealdstone as I don’t think it’s possible for the same 11 to go Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday and with the schedule that we have, changes are a must.

“I you believe in the squad and believe in the group.”

The match on November 30 will start at 11.30am.
