Wycombe vs Coventry preview
Monday 31 December 2018 12:52, UK
Darius Charles and Matt Bloomfield continue to battle their injuries for Wycombe, who face Coventry.
Charles (hip) and Bloomfield (knee) have missed the festive fixtures this season but Ryan Allsop (ankle) has returned.
Midfielder Marcus Bean has missed the last two matches through illness and it remains to be see if he will return. Striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has come off the bench in the last two games and is pushing to start.
Luke Thomas is a major doubt for Coventry with concussion. The on-loan Derby forward is due to return to his parent club after Tuesday's game and may have played his last match for the Sky Blues.
Reise Allassani could deputise for Thomas if he fails to make the squad. Jodi Jones (knee) is out for the rest of the season while Amadou Bakayoko and Michael Doyle continue to recover from their own knee injuries.
