‘Absolutely no chance’ – Leeds United declaration as Plymouth boss reveals extent of blows for Whites visit
Leeds, who are vying for the crown, face League One-bound Plymouth on the last day.
Six Plymouth Argyle players are currently out or uncertain for Saturday’s visit to Leeds United due to new injury injuries.
Even though defenders Matthew Sorinola and Brenden Galloway were already out for the remainder of the season, the Pilgrims suffered even another setback in their triumph over Preston North End last weekend.
Nikola Katic tried to play despite the discomfort after suffering a dead leg during the match, but he was eventually substituted out in the 68th minute.
Plymouth manager Miron Muslic stated during his pregame press conference that there is “absolutely no chance” that Katic would be able to start, thus indicating that Julio Pleguezuelo, a crucial player, is also out.
Pleguezuelo, who was chatting with Muslic during the pregame press conference, maintained that he would be able to play against Leeds in spite of his previous injury.
Muslic, however, seems to be ruling Pleguezuelo out since he also verified that Whites loanee Darko Gyabi is ineligible to play against the Whites and raised new concerns about Jordan Houghton.
“He still can’t move properly and there’s some fast players upfront at Leeds United”…
“Very difficult,” said the Plymouth boss, asked for his team news and giving a declaration about United’s “fast players upfront”.
“Julio (Pleguezuelo) is out unfortunately. He is out. Darko is not playable, he’s not selectable, there’s absolutely no chance I think to have Nikola involved in the starting XI, he still can’t move properly and there’s some fast players upfront at Leeds United.
“Jordan Houghton is also still a doubt so I think four to five players we had in the starting XI already or are entering as game changers won’t be available.
“But okay, other players as always have to step in and do their tasks.”
