Plymouth Argyle will have striker Jamille Matt available for the second leg of their Sky Bet League Two play-off against Portsmouth on Sunday evening.

The Fleetwood loanee, who scored both of Argyle's goals in Thursday's first leg, has escaped punishment for the off-the-ball incident with Michael Doyle.
