No new injury worries for Carlisle ahead of Plymouth clash

Posted Friday, January 10, 2020 by PA

Carlisle head coach Chris Beech has no fresh injury concerns as his side prepare to host Plymouth in the Sky Bet League Two on Saturday.

Beech’s only signing of the January transfer window so far, Elliot Watt, could be in line for his Carlisle debut against the Pilgrims.

Jarrad Branthwaite has also been closing in on a first-team return from a thigh injury and was expected to train on Friday.

Another who has returned to field-based training is Mo Sagaf (ankle) while Christie Elliott has an outside chance of a match-day inclusion after he trained on Thursday following a chest infection.

Plymouth manager Ryan Lowe hopes to have Josh Grant available for the long trip to Carlisle.

The 21-year-old defender has been at Plymouth most of the season on loan from Chelsea, and the League Two club are hoping to extend the deal which came to an end on January 2.

Lowe will be hoping to give his side an additional boost by splitting the trip to Carlisle across two days, and will train at Wigan on Friday.

Argyle could continue to be without forward Dom Telford after he missed the 3-1 victory over Scunthorpe with a hamstring problem.
