Wycombe Wanderers boss has revealed that Josh Scowen didn’t start the 2-1 away loss at Burton Albion due to a ‘tight hamstring’.
The 29-year-old played the final 20 minutes in the defeat at the Pirelli Stadium after missing the 2-0 victory over Fleetwood Town four days prior.

“Josh had a tight hamstring so that’s why we didn’t start him – we didn’t want to risk him, especially on a heavy pitch.
“But we all know how good of a player he is so it’s great to have him back.”
Up next for Wanderers is an away trip to Bristol Rovers on March 14.
