Wycombe Wanderers vs Southend United preview - Ainsworth welcomes back quartet

Gareth Ainsworth will be boosted by the return of four Wycombe players for their clash with Southend.

Paris Cowan-Hall is back in the fold having served his one-match ban in last weekend's FA Cup loss to AFC Wimbledon while loanees Alfie Mawson, Danny Rowe and Fred Onyedinma were all unable to play in the tie.

Ainsworth could throw a number of his returning players into the starting line-up as the Chairboys look to stay at the top of League Two.

And those changes are likely to involve Josh Scowen moving back into midfield having played in an unfamiliar right-back position against the Dons.

Southend midfielder Ryan Leonard has an outside chance of returning to action at Adams Park.

A groin injury forced Leonard to be taken off against Tranmere last month but a behind-closed-doors game this week means he has a fighting chance of making his Shrimpers return on Saturday.

Phil Brown will, however, be without Adam Thompson who serves a one-match suspension having picked up five yellow cards this season.

And captain John White will hope to be given the green light having missed the midweek friendly through illness.
