Akinfenwa eyeing return for Wycombe’s promotion celebration against Stevenage

Posted Thursday, May 03, 2018 by PA

Adebayo Akinfenwa will hope to return to the Wycombe side for their promotion celebration against Stevenage at Adams Park.

The clash has been dubbed ‘Party at the Park’ after Wanderers secured League One football next season with victory over Chesterfield last weekend and the club hope it will be a virtual sell-out.

Talisman Akinfenwa returned from a calf injury to make the bench at the Proact Stadium but was an unused substitute.

Striker Scott Kashket also watched the excitement from the bench after sustainng a knock in the defeat to Accrington two weeks ago and will hope to feature.

Stevenage will be popular party guests, with their victory over Exeter last weekend vital to Wycombe’s promotion.

Youngster Luke Wade-Slater made an unexpected senior debut in the clash after Joe Martin sustained an injury in the warm-up but was forced off after only 18 minutes – having taken a heavy knock – and both will be assessed.

Should neither be fit, 17-year-old Arthur Iontton, who replaced Wade-Slater, could make his first start.

Fellow youth products Andronicos Georgiou and Dylan O’Donnell could also be involved but Luke Wilkinson is suspended.
