Bristol Rovers vs Wycombe preview
Friday 18 January 2019 14:18, UK
Bristol Rovers hope to be unchanged at home to Wycombe.
New boss Graham Coughlan has overseen an upturn in form since settling into the hot-seat, and a six-game unbeaten run has taken Rovers out of the Sky Bet League One relegation zone.
Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, who has been troubled by a knee injury, could miss out after coming off in the goalless draw at Accrington. Rovers must assess their defensive options further as Tom Broadbent, who was in the matchday squad at Accrington last weekend, joined League Two Swindon on Friday.
Wycombe captain Matt Bloomfield has been passed fit for the Chairboys. Bloomfield returned to action last weekend after three months out with a knee problem and suffered no reaction from that appearance.
Paris Cowan-Hall scored twice in that late 3-2 comeback win over Doncaster and will start against the club where he spent a short loan spell in 2015. Goalkeeper Yves Ma-Kalambay (finger) and defender Darius Charles (hip) remain manager Gareth Ainsworth's only injury concerns.
