Wycombe Wanderers vs Bury preview - Chairboys duo to return

Posted Friday, September 05, 2014 by PA

Wycombe's in-form duo will return to their starting line-up when they host Bury.

Blues boss Gareth Ainsworth rested captain Paul Hayes and Peter Murphy, who was nominated for the League Two Player of the Month award, for their 1-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy loss to Coventry but the pair are set to be recalled against the Shakers.

And Ainsworth will check on Matt McClure, forced off with a knock against the Sky Blues, and Matt Bloomfield, who had to leave the field for stitches in a head wound during the match.

Alfie Mawson looks set to be involved having extended his loan spell from Brentford until January while Aaron Holloway will hope to be involved again having made his full debut on Tuesday.

Bury will be missing captain Jim McNulty as they bid to extend a four-game unbeaten run.

The defender was sent off against Accrington and will serve a one-game suspension, with David Flitcroft possibly needing to re-jig his back four as a result.

Striker Daniel Nardiello (groin) is definitely out, although the Shakers are hopeful he will not miss a month of action as first feared.

Midfielder Joe Thompson (back) will be missing for a week but right-back Craig Jones, who is suffering from a similar ailment, played 45 minutes for the development squad on Monday and striker Clive Platt (calf) could return to this weekend's squad.
