Wycombe Wanderers vs Colchester United - Wycombe could welcome players back

Posted Friday, August 26, 2016 by PA

At least three of the six players who have been sidelined for Wycombe could return in Saturday's Sky Bet League Two home clash with Colchester.

Two regarded as close to making a comeback are forward Paris Cowan-Hall - yet to feature this season - and midfielder Luke O'Nien, who sustained his injury in the opening-day loss to Crawley.

O'Nien's fellow midfielder Myles Weston was also injured in that game and it remains to be seen if he has a chance of being involved this weekend, while boss Gareth Ainsworth is hopeful defender Danny Rowe will come through a late fitness test.

Another defender, Max Muller, and goalkeeper Scott Brown remain unavailable.

Colchester left-back Matt Briggs has undergone surgery on a hip problem and will be sidelined for some time.

Owen Garvan continued his comeback from a leg injury with 90 minutes in the under-23s' 0-0 draw with Sheffield United earlier this week.

Alex Wynter and Macauley Bonne also featured as they continue their comebacks from injury.

Head coach John McGreal is set to take another look at Middlesbrough defender Mark Kitching playing for the youth side before making a decision on whether to sign him.
