Wycombe without Trotta

Marcello Trotta's decision not to extend his loan spell is a blow for Wycombe ahead of the visit of Rochdale.

Trotta scored eight goals in as many appearances during his two-month stay at Adams Park but the Italian teenager returned to Fulham this week after rejecting the chance to stay in Buckinghamshire.

Manager Gary Waddock is trying to sign a replacement but he is unsure as to whether anything will materialise before Saturday.

Should there be no new arrival, Waddock must pick between Scott Rendell, Ben Strevens or the fit-again Matt McClure to partner Stuart Beavon up front.

McClure has been injured all season while, between them, Rendell and Strevens have scored just three goals in 35 appearances.

With Leon Johnson and Dave Winfield nursing knee injuries, Louis Laing was brought in on loan as defensive cover this week and the Sunderland teenager could make his debut.
