Wycombe Wanderers' newly signed goalkeeper Macey will undergo knee surgery, the League One club confirmed. The injury sets back the 28-year-old's debut plans as he recovers from the procedure.
What happened?
Macey joined Wycombe Wanderers this summer but suffered a knee injury during pre-season training. The club's medical team assessed the damage and recommended surgery to address the issue. The operation aims to repair ligament damage sustained in a training session.
Why it matters for Wycombe Wanderers
The injury leaves Wycombe Wanderers short of goalkeeping options ahead of the new League One season. With Macey sidelined, manager Gareth Ainsworth may need to rely on backup keepers or explore the transfer market for reinforcements. The club has not disclosed a timeline for Macey's return.
What comes next?
Wycombe Wanderers will monitor Macey's recovery progress closely. The club expects him to miss several weeks, potentially delaying his competitive debut. In the meantime, Ainsworth will assess his squad's goalkeeping depth and make adjustments as needed.
Macey, who previously played for Arsenal and Cambridge United, was signed to bolster Wycombe's goalkeeping ranks. His absence adds to the challenges facing the team as they prepare for the 2026-27 campaign.
