Ankle injury sidelines Plymouth midfielder Antoni Sarcevic for Southend clash

Antoni Sarcevic will again be missing from the Plymouth squad to face Southend.

The midfielder was absent from the side beaten 2-1 at Walsall on the opening day of the season due to an ankle injury.

Sarcevic has begun light training and is expected to return to full training next week.

Boss Derek Adams has no new injury worries and will choose from an unchanged squad for Argyle’s first home match of the season.

Southend defender Harry Lennon suffered a fractured big toe during last Saturday’s 3-2 defeat by Doncaster.

The summer signing from Charlton picked up the injury early in the second half but completed the full 90 minutes.

John White is likely to step in at centre-half at Home Park.

Sam Barratt and Timothee Dieng overcame pre-season injuries to come on as substitutes against Rovers and should be involved again.
