Match Preview
Chairboys duo in fitness race Centre-halves Dave Winfield and Leon Johnson face a race against time to be fit for Wycombe's return to League One against Scunthorpe. The pair missed the pre-season defeat to Northampton last weekend through injury. Both will be assessed in training before a decision is made on their fitness, but midfielders Stuart Lewis (virus) and Matt Bloomfield (groin) will definitely sit out Saturday's opener. Manager Gary Waddock said: "If everybody is fit then I know my starting XI. Everyone wants to play in that first game but I mentioned to the players on Monday that there will be some who will be disappointed. However, we have got, hopefully, 50-odd games to play. "They may miss out on the first game but, three or four games in, it could all change and they could go on and play 40 games. "Everybody will be used throughout the season and that is why we have got a squad which, in my opinion, is a good squad." Scunthorpe boss Alan Knill is set to hand debuts to a trio of summer signings when his side open their campaign. Andy Barcham, Jimmy Ryan and Jordan Robertson could make their bows against the Chairboys after joining from Gillingham, Accrington and St Johnstone respectively. Striker Barcham, a free transfer signing from the Gills, is nursing a slight foot injury and will be assessed closer to kick-off but is hopeful of being passed fit for action. The only definite absentee is defender Cliff Byrne, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Iron winger Mark Duffy was absent when Scunthorpe were beaten 5-0 by Barnsley in their final pre-season friendly but looks certain to return to contention this weekend.

Match Report
Nelson rescues a point for Scunthorpe Michael Nelson's strike helped Scunthorpe put the misery of relegation behind them as they grabbed a 1-1 draw. The Iron, who dropped out of the Championship last season, had to bounce back from James Tunnicliffe's goal to earn a share of the spoils. It was the visitors who enjoyed the best of the early running, with Jordan Roberston volleying Mark Duffy's cross narrowly over the crossbar. Then Duffy himself drilled a left-footed shot just past Nikki Bull's upright. The Chairboys began to apply some pressure, and after Scott Donnelly's corner had gone to waste he looped in a dangerous delivery from open play in the 22nd minute which found the head of Tunnicliffe to score a debut goal. The defender, who signed from Brighton in pre-season, celebrated just the fourth goal of his career. But Nelson wiped the smile off his face when he levelled the scores before the break, nodding home Michael O'Connor's searching cross. Chris Dagnall had a goal ruled out for offside, while Ben Strevens then saw red for the hosts in the dying moments.
