Gareth Ainsworth is likely to keep faith with the majority of the squad that pulled off a draw with Portsmouth for the Carabao Cup clash with Norwich.
Wycombe snatched a late 2-2 draw at Pompey, leaving boss Ainsworth happy with the hard-fought point. Anthony Stewart and Adam El-Abd are still missing through injury, while Nathan Tyson is also a doubt.
Paris Cowan-Hall is pushing for a start after impressing off the bench on Saturday.
Marco Stiepermann is a doubt for Norwich's trip to Adams Park having picked up a hip injury. Norwich boss Daniel Farke expects the attacking midfielder to travel on Tuesday, so will face a late fitness test before the third-round encounter.
Ben Marshall returned to training on Monday after a virus but will not be considered for selection. Ivo Pinto has shaken off a hamstring problem though, and is now in contention.
Wycombe and Norwich have never met previously in the League Cup - in their three meetings, Norwich have won all three (an FA Cup tie in 1994 and two matches in League One in 2009-10).
This is the first time that Wycombe Wanderers have reached the Third Round of the EFL Cup since 2006-07, when they eventually got to the semi-finals.
Wycombe Wanderers have conceded a goal in 16 successive League Cup matches, not keeping a clean sheet since their 2006-07 Quarter Final match against Charlton Athletic (1-0).
Norwich City have progressed in 10 of their last 11 League Cup ties versus lower-league opposition, the exception their 0-1 away defeat at Shrewsbury Town in September 2014 (Third Round).
Since the start of last season, only Bristol City (19 goals in eight games) have scored more goals in the EFL Cup than Norwich City (17 goals in six games).
