Summer recruits in line for Wycombe debuts

Posted Thursday, August 01, 2019 by PA

David Wheeler and Fred Onyedinma are among the summer signings in line to feature for Wycombe when they host Bolton in their Sky Bet League One campaign-opener.

Tuesday saw midfielder Wheeler and forward Onyedinma – who has previously had two loan spells at the club – join from QPR and Millwall respectively.

Fellow new recruits Alex Pattison, Paul Smyth, Jack Grimmer, Jacob Gardiner-Smith, Giles Phillips and Jamie Mascoll are all also available.

Sido Jombati (ankle) and Curtis Thompson (shoulder) will not be involved.

Bolton, who start the season on minus 12 points after going into administration, have only a handful of senior players to call upon.

They announced in June that they had just 14 players contracted to the club as professionals or third year scholars and one of those has since departed, with Luca Connell joining Celtic.

The Trotters have been awaiting completion of a takeover by the Football Ventures consortium.

It was only announced on Monday that this fixture would go ahead as scheduled, with the EFL having declared itself satisfied about Bolton’s financial position.
