Bennett to sit out Cobblers test

27 August 2010 15:00
Wycombe will be without centre-half Alan Bennett for the trip to near neighbours Northampton. Bennett lasted just seven minutes of last weekend`s 0-0 draw at home to Oxford before limping off with a hamstring injury so Leon Johnson is likely to start at Sixfields alongside Dave Winfield. Striker Stuart Beavon - whose father and namesake Stuart played for the Cobblers in the 1990s - is in contention for a starting spot after recovering from a broken leg and scoring in a 3-1 reserve friendly win over Bournemouth on Tuesday. Veteran midfielder Gareth Ainsworth will be hoping to return to the starting XI after he was only a substitute against Oxford, where he came on to make his 500th career appearance.
