Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has confirmed why both Jordan Willis and Jordan Obita missed the club’s 1-1 draw against Exeter City.
The Chairboys made three changes when they took on the South West club, with the two defenders being absent from the matchday squad.
Speaking to the press after the match, which was his first in charge of Wycombe at Adams Park since taking over as manager in February, Bloomfield said: “It wasn’t a tactical thing - they were both carrying knocks from last week’s game at Shrewsbury.

The boss hopes to have the two back for Fleetwood on Tuesday.
Additionally, he confirmed he'll 'asses the situation' with both McCleary and Scowen.#Chairboys
“It meant that they couldn’t play today.
“We hope to have them for Tuesday evening but we’re not sure how close they will be.”
The 39-year-old also spoke about the injuries sustained by Garath McCleary and Josh Scowen, who both came off injured during the fixture.
He continued: “We will have to wait and see when they settle down.
“I don’t think it’s telling at this point.

“We lost both Jordans going into the match so we are a bit thin on the ground, but today [March 4], was a great opportunity for the development players to be included as we want to help them progress as well.
