STRIKER Charlie Griffin and midfielder Mark Philo are set to hand the Chairboys a double boost.

Manager John Gorman reckons the crocked duo are just one month away from full fitness, with Griffin leading the race to be back first.

He has been given the all-clear to play his first competitive game next week in a specially-arranged reserve match against Team Bath.

It will be his first taste of the action since August 2 when he smashed a bone in his forehead during the club's final pre-season friendly against Oxford City.

He needed a bone graft and surgeons told him he could have died.

The injury affected the bone and his sinuses and they had to rebuild it during a long operation.

Blues have had to wrap him in cotton wool since, but he has now been given the all-clear to return to action.

Griffin signed from Conference side Forest Green in the summer and he made an instant impression when he scored in Wanderers' pre-season friendly against Chelsea and also in the pre-season San An Cup final success in Ibiza.

Griffin told Wanderers' official website this week: "It has been a long time in coming but, touch wood, everything will be fine from here.

"I've done a lot of heading work and haven't had any reaction so I'm just looking forward to playing in a few reserve games."

The striker is joined on the comeback trail by midfielder Philo.

He is making good progress recovering from his second successive pre-season broken ankle.

The jinxed youngster was told on Monday that he could resume training but Wanderers are determined to ease him back rather than let him go full throttle, Manager John Gorman said: "We are looking at about a month for both of them before they can be considered for the first team.

"Charlie is perhaps slightly ahead, but it will be like having two new signings coming into the club if we can get those two back on the pitch.
