Wycombe Wanderers vs Bristol Rovers - Wycombe still without Garry Thompson for clash with Bristol Rovers

Posted Friday, February 26, 2016 by PA

Wycombe will continue without Garry Thompson when fellow play-off hopefuls Bristol Rovers visit.

The veteran winger was sent off in the Chairboys' 2-1 win at Dagenham and completes his three-game ban this weekend.

Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth could only name five substitutes last time out at Northampton after Aaron Pierre (dead leg) and Paris Cowan-Hall (ankle) were ruled out.

Both players are likely to watch from the sidelines once more as Ainsworth's men aim to leapfrog seventh-placed Rovers.

Billy Bodin is pushing for a return to Rovers' starting line-up after scoring his sixth goal of the season last weekend.

Bodin came off the bench against Morecambe when manager Darrell Clarke changed the system in the first half, and grabbed the winner in a 2-1 victory.

James Clarke was the player to make way for Bodin and he may have to settle for a place among the substitutes if the manager chooses to go with a 4-4-2 formation at Wycombe.

Cristian Montano impressed when scoring twice as Rovers' reserve-team beat Newport 2-1 in midweek, but the Colombian is likely to start on the bench.
