Suspended duo Sawyer and Sarcevic missing again for Plymouth

Posted Thursday, March 05, 2020 by PA

Plymouth continue their promotion push without some key personnel when they host Macclesfield in Sky Bet League Two.

Captain Gary Sawyer and Antoni Sarcevic will again both miss out due to suspension after being sent off against Bradford.

Will Aimson is also absent but has returned to training following a pelvic injury which has blighted most of his season. The defender may be available for the trip to Morecambe on March 14.

On-loan Chelsea defender Josh Grant is still recovering from a calf injury which has caused him to miss the last three matches.

Macclesfield defender Corey O’Keeffe is one booking away from suspension but will look to avoid a ban as it is the final weekend before the 10 yellow card suspension cut off.

The Silkmen have on-loan midfielder Danny Whitehead available after he was ineligible to play against parent club Salford last time out.

Donovan Wilson will be hoping for more minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute against Salford. The former Wolves youngster had been selected in the previous two squads but remained on the bench after his recent return from injury.

Macclesfield are fighting to stay in the Football League, lying 23rd in the table after picking up just two points from their last eight games.
