Eastmond eases Chairboys' concerns

On-loan midfielder Craig Eastmond looks set to hand Wycombe a fitness boost ahead of the crucial home game against Oldham.

Eastmond has been struggling with illness for the past week but the Arsenal player is on course to recover in time for Saturday. "He was struggling before the Chesterfield game. Marvin (McCoy) had a bout of it the week before and Easty had it before Monday and during the course of the game. But he should be fine for the weekend," said Wanderers boss Gary Waddock, who has defensive problems ahead of the game. Right-back McCoy (ankle) and centre-back Anthony Stewart (knee) remain doubts while full-back Danny Foster is definitely still out with a shoulder injury. Dave Winfield has returned to training after a thigh strain but Waddock insists he is also a doubt. "We will have a head count and see where we are. But, whoever the team is, I know they will give it their best shot," added Waddock. Wycombe go into the fixture four points adrift of safety behind Leyton Orient and Walsall and six points behind Oldham.
