Bristol Rovers v Wycombe preview Johnstone's Paint Trophy
Monday 5 October 2015 18:18, UK
Team news for Tuesday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash between Oxford and Swindon.
Bristol Rovers boss Darrell Clarke could give some of his fringe players an opportunity in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy second round tie against Wycombe.
Rovers have won their last two Sky Bet League Two games, away at Hartlepool and Morecambe, but Clarke knows some of his first-team squad need game time.
So defender Daniel Leadbitter, who has recently recovered from a hamstring problem, Ollie Clarke, Chris Lines and Cristiano Montano could all start on Tuesday night.
Rovers' home league game against the same opponents on Saturday has been postponed as the Pirates have Jake Gosling (Gibraltar), Ellis Harrison and Tom Lockyer (Wales Under-21's) all away on international duty.
Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth will make changes to his team amid concerns surrounding fatigue.
The League Two side took the lead at home against Northampton on Saturday before eventually losing 3-2, and Ainsworth said: "A few players were unrecognisable and I think that's down to tiredness."
Sam Wood and captain Matt Bloomfield could start after both came off the bench against Northampton, the former following knee trouble.
Anthony Stewart, owing to a knee injury, remains a long-term absentee, but Paul Hayes could yet return in time to feature.
