Wycombe Wanderers boss Gary Waddock will be without veteran Gareth Ainsworth for the visit of fellow strugglers Stockport County.

Ainsworth missed the 1-0 defeat at Southampton in midweek after picking up a calf injury in training and will again sit out as the Chairboys look to pull ahead of the Hatters.

Both clubs are in the relegation zone but Waddock could recall midfielder Scott Davies in a boost to his attacking options.

The on-loan Reading man was only on the bench at St Mary's on Tuesday after collecting a knock in the win over Brentford but is fit to start.

Defender Leon Johnson had an operation on his hip complaint on Thursday and will be out for several months while midfielder Lewis Montrose is also out after surgery on his knee.

Chris Westwood and Matty Bloomfield have hamstring injuries and are not yet ready to feature.
