Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth has provided an injury update as Wanderers prepare to face Forest Green Rovers this Saturday.
The trip to the West Country comes off the back of five consecutive home games without a win, in which the Chairboys have been without several key players.
Last weekend’s disappointing FA Cup exit to League Two Walsall saw the manager make several alterations to the starting line-up, but he has insisted that there might be a few ‘surprises’ to the teamsheet this weekend.
Ainsworth on Wycombe's squad to face Forest Green this Sat: "You will certainly see some names in the squad this weekend. Hopefully, we can spring a few surprises with the teamsheet but whatever team I pick, I expect them to be competitive in any game this season." #Chairboys

Speaking to the press on November 10, Ainsworth said: “Curtis Thompson is only the long-term absentee that we have still but he’s out on the pitches now which is great.
“It’ll be soon time for Curtis to return but we are happy, very happy, with where we are squad-wise now as we have one or two returning which will make a big difference.
“Chris Forino and Garath McCleary both picked up knocks so we have got to make sure we’re strong for Saturday and I can’t wait to get stuck into training.
The #Chairboys' initial allocation of tickets for Saturday's game at Forest Green has now sold out, with more arriving this week.

“You will certainly see some names in the squad this weekend.
“A positive about last week [against Walsall] was that I was able to rest a few as it was another week closer to getting fit for the likes of Josh Scowen, Chris Forino, Dom Gape, and Garath McCleary who are big players for us.
"I have got a strong squad of 18 and once they are all fit, we will be a good force and the key now is to get everyone fit and top peak condition and get the results when we’re full strength.
“So hopefully, we can spring a few surprises with the teamsheet but whatever team I pick, I expect them to be competitive in any game this season."
Wycombe currently sit in 13th place in the League One table.
