Remi Matthews doubtful before Plymouth host Portsmouth
Posted Friday, April 13, 2018 by PA
On-loan goalkeeper Remi Matthews is a doubt for Plymouth’s Sky Bet League One tie with Portsmouth at Home Park.
Matthews missed the 2-1 victory over Peterborough last weekend after his wife gave birth to a baby girl.
He has trained with his parent club Norwich this week while his daughter underwent further tests in hospital.
Kyle Letheren will continue in goal if Matthews is unavailable. Lionel Ainsworth (back) is a major doubt, while Antoni Sarcevic (groin) and striker Simon Church (hip) continue to be ruled out.
Portsmouth will be without Anton Walkes for their away games with Plymouth and Bradford.
Walkes, who is on loan from Tottenham, limped off at the end of Saturday’s draw with Rochdale and has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury.
Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain is also set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken leg in training on Monday.
Assistant manager Joe Gallen told the club’s website that Oxlade-Chamberlain got his foot stuck in the ground while taking a shot during a five-a-side game and X-rays have confirmed a fracture.
