The Yellows stormed to a 4-0 victory over Russell Martin’s Foxes on Saturday, Mark Harris with two and Mo Missanga and Jamie McDonnell with a goal each to secure second win of the League One season.

It was a day to remember for many players at the King Power Stadium, with Missanga and McDonnell both notching their first goals for the club, the former on only his second senior start.

Simon Eastwood started the afternoon for a second game running whilst first-choice goalkeeper Jamie Cumming returned to the bench after a groin injury.

Cumming was withdrawn early into the U’s 2-1 win over Stevenage, 37-year-old Eastwood replacing him, and subsequently missed out on a place in the squad for a midweek trip to Huddersfield Town last week which ended in a 3-1 defeat.

After the 27-year-old returned to the bench in the East Midlands, head coach Ramsey offered an update on the no.1 keeper’s status.

“He’s only had one training session with the team,” the Yellows boss disclosed after the win at Leicester.

“So for us, we know how important he is for the team.

“Eastwood did really well last week and for him to come in again today and get that clean sheet is brilliant.

“But now as well, for Jamie’s sake, he’s got a full week of preparation now to really make sure that he’s in a good place now for next week.”

Backup shot-stopper Eastwood secured his first clean sheet in almost three years against the Foxes and the Yellows’ first of the season.

The keeper’s last clean sheet came in December 2023, a 1-0 win at Forest Green Rovers in the EFL trophy.

Eastwood, who has been at the club since 2016, has performed well whilst standing in in-between the sticks.

Despite losing against Huddersfield, the former Terrier did all he could and made five saves at the Accu Stadium.

The Englishman then managed four against Leicester, with a statistic of 0.6 goals prevented according to Sofascore.

His colleague Cumming played every minute of last season’s league campaign which saw United relegated from the Championship under Gary Rowett and then Matt Bloomfield.

The former Chelsea man kept eight clean sheets for a struggling U’s side last term.

His last campaign in League One was in the U’s promotion season of 2023/24 where he joined in January on a six-month loan.

Cumming made 23 league and play-off appearances in that time and managed seven clean sheets, including in the 2-0 play-off final win at Wembley against Bolton Wanderers.

The Chairboys are in 23rd place with only three points, having drawn three and lost two of their opening five games.

First-team coach Alex Morris has also departed the club.

The 48-year-old boss had been in charge for nearly a year.

The former Barnsley, Swansea City and Huddersfield Town manager replaced former Oxford assistant Mike Dodds last September after a bad start to the previous campaign

Despite a recovery that saw them finish in the top half of the table, Duff has now become the first managerial casualty of the campaign in the top four divisions.

A club statement said: “The appointment of an interim head coach will follow later today.

“The club has made the decision in light of a disappointing run of results since the spring and believes the time is right to take a new direction.”

Wycombe’s sole victory in their past 13 games came against Rotherham on the final day of last season.

This includes the Carabao Cup defeat by Stevenage and the Vertu Trophy draw at Reading.

Oxford United are set to play Wycombe for the first time in over two years on November 21 at the Kassam Stadium, with the return fixture at Adams Park in March.

The away match against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday, September 26, and the home clash with Stockport County on Saturday, October 3, will be rescheduled.

This season, the September and October international breaks have been combined into a 16-day period, with countries playing four matches instead of the usual two.

As a result, Oxford United are expected to have at least four players selected for international duty.

This includes Mark Harris, who is a regular in the Wales squad and has already scored three goals in four matches this season.

The Welsh team is set to play Portugal and Denmark away before hosting Norway and playing Denmark a second time.

Brodie Spencer, Ciaron Brown, and Jamie McDonnell are expected to be included in the Northern Ireland squad.

They are set to face Georgia and Hungary, then Ukraine and Georgia again.

There is also a potential call-up for Aidomo Emakhu, who made his senior debut for the Republic of Ireland in May.

The winger is out injured for a “couple of weeks” at the moment, however, so may not be back fit in time for a potential set of international games.

Oxford United have assured fans that any tickets purchased for the original match dates will still be valid for the rearranged fixtures.

The club will announce the new dates for these games in due course.

These postponements are part of the first international break of the season, with one more scheduled for November.
