KEMAR Roofe is concerned ahead of tomorrow’s final game of the season – but any sleepless nights this week have been rooted in the fear of missing out rather than Oxford United falling short.

Almost exactly nine months after opening the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Crawley Town, the U’s return to the Kassam Stadium knowing a victory against Wycombe Wanderers would clinch automatic promotion.

Roofe’s 18 goals in Sky Bet League Two have been vital in getting them into the promising position, but an ankle problem has raised doubts over whether he will be able to feature against the Chairboys.

The 23-year-old trained yesterday to test his fitness and United will wait to see how the ankle reacts today before taking a decision.

It has pre-occupied Roofe, who will volunteer to play through the pain if he can, rather than being nervous about the contest itself.

He said: “I’ve been working closely with the physio and just doing strength work with the ankle.

“I’m more worried about my ankle than the game.

“If I’m not right and there’s too much pain I can’t help that, but if I can just about get through it I will be playing.”

He added: “We don’t care about anyone else, we never have and it’s all about us.

“Luckily enough we’ve had it in our hands for most of the season, so it’s down to us.”

While the mood in the camp is calm ahead of the season-defining clash, there is likely to be tension on the terraces.

Roofe knows exactly the emotions United fans will be experiencing tomorrow, after the ankle problem ruled him out of last weekend’s 2-0 win at Carlisle United.

“It wasn’t nice,” he said. “I was nervous and couldn’t sit still.

“When we scored I was jumping up and it was the wrong end to be doing that – I had to quickly say sorry and sit back down.”

But United’s No 4 stressed just how important the unconditional backing of a sold-out Kassam Stadium could be.

He said: “We feed off the atmosphere and the energy, in games like Swansea (January’s 3-2 FA Cup win where United fell behind) it’s always helped.

“They have to stick with us if we are losing or struggling a bit.

“Until the final whistle goes there’s still a chance of us winning.

“Every game we’ve had over the season will help for this one.”
