Wycombe vs Leatherhead - Ainsworth faces selection headaches ahead of Leatherhead

Posted Friday, December 01, 2017 by PA

Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth must weigh up his options for the FA Cup second-round clash with Leatherhead.

Ainsworth was impressed by a much-changed side's performance against West Ham Under-21s in the Checkatrade Trophy in midweek.

Full-back Jack Williams, returning from a knee injury, may have played himself into contention while midfielder Sam Saunders started for the first time after recovering from illness.

Craig Mackail-Smith is also pushing for a start after coming on as a late substitute during last weekend's League Two victory over Yeovil following a groin problem.

Isthmian League side Leatherhead will be unable to call on the services of striker Liam Nash.

The on-loan Gillingham man has scored five goals in five games but Gills boss Steve Lovell does not want him cup-tied.

Leatherhead's only injury concern is midfielder Dan Gallagher, who should be fit to start after coming through the game against Banstead without aggravating an ankle injury.

The Tanners are attempting to recreate their heroics of the 1974/75 season, when they beat Brighton to reach the fourth round.
