Pepple fit for Argyle as Huddersfield visit

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 07:39 · Archive

Plymouth Argyle's seven-goal top scorer Bim Pepple will be available for Saturday's League One game against Huddersfield Town at Home Park after recovering from a hamstring issue. The 23-year-old Canadian missed last week's 2-1 win over AFC Wimbledon due to what head coach Tom Cleverley called 'hamstring tightness'. Pepple had scored in six of Argyle's previous seven games before being sidelined.

Cleverley said Pepple would be managed carefully on his return. 'We won't be reckless with Bim. We don't want to put him under extreme fatigue, but for sure 60 minutes is an option,' Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon. He said 60 to 70 minutes would be 'for sure in the picture', depending on how Pepple felt on Sunday. 'He's raring to go. He would have played last week had we let him,' Cleverley added.

Argyle captain Joe Edwards will not face Huddersfield after being substituted 30 minutes into the Wimbledon match with a hamstring issue, but scans showed good news and he should be available for Tuesday's trip to Stevenage. Defender Julio Pleguezuelo is fit after missing the previous three games with a knee injury.
