Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield hopes to have Sam Vokes, Garath McCleary, Curtis Thompson, Dominic Gape, and Jordan Obita back before the season is over.

The five have collectively missed large chunks of the campaign due to injury.

However, the 39-year-old confirmed that both Vokes and McCleary are ‘very, very close’, to returning to the first team.

It is not known if they will be in the squad to face Bloomfield’s former club, Ipswich Town, on Good Friday, but he is confident they will play a part in Wanderers’ play-off push.

The club sit in eighth but are now only two points off the top six.

Speaking to Free Press and BBC 3 Counties after Wycombe’s 2-2 draw against MK on April 1, he said: “Sam Vokes and Garath McCleary are very, very close to returning.

“They are going to be back at some point - they are not far away.

“They are in the gym working their socks off to get back as they are big players at this club.

“We're looking forward to having them back, but at the moment, Brandon [Hanlan] did well again along with Tjay [De Barr].

“Jordan Obita, Dom Gape, Garath McCleary, Sam Vokes and Curtis Thompson are big players for this club.

“Sadly, they haven’t been able to play much football recently so we’re looking forward to having them back soon.
