The FA are looking into the incident and awaiting the referee’s match report before deciding what, if any, action to take.
Tranmere have promised an investigation and say they will take action against supporters found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth said: “If that’s the case then for me there are some stupid idiots about.
“Whether it’s racist or homophobic, whatever it is, we have to stamp this out.
“I have got to credit Ryan Allsop for being brave enough to stand up and say I’m reporting this, and that’s what we are and I’ll stand by him.”
Wycombe won 2-0 to move to the top of the table.
Adebayo Akinfenwa scored his 50th goal for the club after 43 minutes before Joe Jacobson added a penalty in the first minute of first-half stoppage time as Ainsworth’s side moved three points clear of second-placed Ipswich.
