Wycombe Wanderers lose Gareth Ainsworth to broken thumb
Last updated on .From the section Football
Veteran Wycombe Wanderers winger Gareth Ainsworth has been ruled out for four weeks following the news he will need an operation on a broken thumb.
He suffered the injury in the 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday two weeks ago and will undergo surgery on Thursday.
The 38-year-old had played 14 games this season.
It is Wycombe's second injury blow this week with keeper Steven Arnold ending his loan spell at Hayes & Yeading with a fractured metatarsal in his foot.
The 22-year-old is expected to be out for at least eight weeks after undergoing surgery on Tuesday.
He made 17 appearances for Hayes in what started as a season-long loan at the Blue Square Bet Premier side.
The former Norwich City youngster has yet to feature for the Chairboys since arriving from Grays in January 2010.
