The Chairboys centre-back has been playing through the pain over the last few weeks, but the problem flared up again in training on Friday.
Waddock told the Buckinghamshire Examiner: "He has a tear in his groin which he has had for a couple of weeks. He has been playing through that and on Friday he trained and felt it.
"I just felt that going into this busy period and an important game that everybody has to be 100% and I didn't want to risk him."
