Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has provided an injury update on Jack Grimmer.
The 29-year-old right-back suffered a head injury in the Chairboys’ 1-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers on February 18, and was replaced by Jordan Willis after just 33 minutes.
This led to first-half stoppage time adding up to nine minutes, which is when Lewis Wing scored the only goal of the match to secure Wycombe’s fifth league win in a row.

He's been down for a while, and it looks like Jordan Willis is coming on.

It’s also the first time that Wanderers have secured five consecutive victories in the third tier of English football.
Speaking on Grimmer, Ainsworth said: “Jack is fine.
“He got a concussion so that will rule him out for a week and we will rally around him.
“I have got a fantastic medical team around me that I trusted implicitly.
"Hopefully he will recover quickly.”

Despite the win, Wycombe remain just outside the play-off places and face promotion-pushing Shrewsbury Town in a week’s time.
Ainsworth added: “We’re doing OK at the moment but one game doesn’t make a season.
“We don’t want to get too carried away as we have Shrewsbury next week.
“We aim to be in the hunt for a place in the top six as much as we can.”
