Blackpool vs Plymouth preview
Thursday 28 March 2019 15:34, UK
Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips has almost a full-strength squad at his disposal as his side continue their Sky Bet League One play-off push against Plymouth.
Max Clayton, Mark Howard and Jimmy Ryan remain long-term absentees. Donervon Daniels missed last weekend's game against Bradford but he should be fit after returning to training.
Ollie Turton is also likely to be back in the mix having also rejoined training, with Blackpool currently four points off a play-off place.
Plymouth could have midfielder Graham Carey available after he missed the 2-2 draw against Bristol Rovers.Carey missed out due to back and hamstring problems, and manager Derek Adams hopes to have him in contention for the long trip north.
Defender Joe Riley (ankle) and midfielder David Fox (groin) went off in the second half of that game. But Adams has already seen both players return to training and they look likely to feature in his starting XI.
