Depleted Plymouth at full stretch for Doncaster game

Posted Thursday, September 27, 2018 by PA

Struggling Plymouth’s injury problems show no sign of abating prior to hosting League One opponents Doncaster on Saturday.

Argyle, bottom of the table and without a league win this season, currently have a casualty count that runs into double figures.

Three more players joined the injured list after being hurt during last weekend’s defeat against Charlton.

Club captain Gary Sawyer suffered a broken foot in that game, while Scott Wootton pulled a thigh muscle and Antoni Sarcevic picked up a stomach injury, giving manager Derek Adams plenty to ponder ahead of team selection.

Fourth-placed Doncaster, meanwhile, could be boosted by the return of midfielder Ali Crawford for their trip to Devon.

Crawford suffered a knee injury on the season’s opening weekend last month, but he returned to action in an under-23s game against Scunthorpe earlier this week and might now be back in the first team mix.

Rovers, though, will be without Ben Whiteman due to suspension after he collected a fifth League One booking of the season during a 2-1 victory over Bradford five days ago.

And club captain Tommy Rowe remains an absentee as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.
