Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield hopes winger Garath McCleary will be 'back soon’ after he suffered an undisclosed foot injury.

The 36-year-old did not feature in the Chairboys’ 1-1 draw away at Charlton Athletic on March 25, but was seen at the Valley walking on crutches.

His kit had been included for the trip to South East London, and he had been expected to be part of the matchday squad.

McCleary has featured in 34 matches for the club this season, scoring six times.

Speaking on the Jamaican’s omission, Bloomfield said: “Garath is on crutches so we'll have to see how his foot settles down.

"We hope to have him back soon.

“He's a big player for us and we need to look after him but we don’t know how long he could be out for.

“But he and Sam Vokes are important to us.”

Speaking on the performance at the Valley, which saw Chris Forino score a late header to rescue the Chairboys a point following Miles Leaburn’s first-half strike, he added: “I was getting frustrated during the second half with the way the game was slowing down, but we can’t waste our energy on frustration.

“We need to remain positive and put that energy into trying to win games.

“We’ve got eight matches left so there are plenty of points to play for.

“I thought we started off the match really well and had the better chances but Charlton got back into it during a 10 minutes spell when they scored.

“But the character we showed really impressed me and I’m pleased with the point.”

Wycombe sit eighth but are now just three points off the play-offs.
