Central defensive duo Liam Chilvers and Damion Stewart are injury concerns for Notts County ahead of their crucial weekend clash at Wycombe.
Chilvers and Stewart have started the Magpies' last four games together at the heart of the back-four, but both are struggling with hamstring problems.
Chilvers limped off during the second half of the 4-2 home defeat to Bury and Stewart, who is on loan from Bristol City, also ended that game with a niggle.
Both players will receive intensive treatment throughout this week, but if they do not recover in time manager Keith Curle has Mike Edwards and Krystian Pearce to call upon.
"Liam and Damion both felt hamstring twinges, but we will collect ourselves and we will be okay. We will be committed at Wycombe," said Curle.
Notts need a win at Adams Park on Saturday to keep their play-off hopes alive. The loss to Bury left the Magpies seventh in the table and two points behind sixth-placed Stevenage.
