York defender William Boyle suspended for visit of Wycombe

York defender William Boyle will sit out Saturday's League Two clash at home to Wycombe through suspension.

Boyle was sent off for a second bookable offence during last weekend's 1-1 home draw with Leyton Orient and is banned for one game, and he could be replaced at the heart of Jackie McNamara's defence by Notts County loanee Scott Bennett, who has been playing as a defensive midfielder.

Left-back Femi Ilesanmi limped out of the Orient game with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to make it with youngster Kyle Cameron, on loan from Newcastle, in line to deputise.

Skipper Russell Penn, who damaged a knee in the 3-2 defeat at Plymouth on Easter Monday, remains a major doubt, while striker Jake Hyde has returned to training after recovering from a groin problem.

Manager Gareth Ainsworth hopes Luke O'Nien and Alex Lynch can ease Wycombe's injury crisis.

Wycombe have been forced to name a six-man replacements bench in their last two outings, as injuries have ravaged Ainsworth's resources.

Midfielder O'Nien has been struggling with a muscle problem while goalkeeper Lynch continues to battle a thigh complaint, but now Ainsworth hopes both men can return this weekend.

Sam Wood, Paris Cowan-Hall and Danny Rowe are unlikely to be fit in time for Saturday's trip.
