Plymouth Argyle open pre-season with injury worries
Plymouth Argyle manager Tom Cleverley has revealed injury concerns after the club’s pre-season opener on 14 July 2026. The League One side, currently 7th with zero points, faces Doncaster at home on 13 February 2027.
What Cleverley said
Cleverley told reporters that two first-team players picked up knocks during the friendly. One remains a doubt for the next training session, while the other is expected to return sooner. The manager stressed the squad’s depth but admitted the setbacks are untimely.
Why injuries sting now
With no goals scored or conceded so far this season, every player counts. Plymouth’s opening league fixture is still six months away, yet Cleverley wants no complacency. The club’s 0–0 goal difference underlines the need for sharp form from every squad member.
What happens next
The squad reconvenes on Wednesday for video analysis and light training. Cleverley will assess the doubters then decide whether to include them in the next group session. The club’s medical team is monitoring both knocks closely ahead of the Doncaster clash in February 2027.
