Plymouth Argyle recieved a big injury boost ahead of their crunch game against Sheffield Wednesday this week.

On Wednesday night, the Owls and Pilgrims square off in what has grown to be a crucial match for both teams. If the visitors win, they risk falling 12 points behind Danny Röhl’s team.

Hillsborough’s men haven’t defeated Plymouth at home in nearly 15 years, with all three of their victories since 2009 occurring in S6 at home. They have an opportunity to rectify that this week, and maybe pick up their first victory of the 2023–24 season.

It won’t be easy, though, after Steven Schumacher’s side showed their mettle to get a point at West Bromwich Albion over the weekend, and that game saw both former Owl, Lewis Gibson, and star goalkeeper, Mike Cooper, both return from injury and get through 90 minutes unscathed.
Gibson missed only three games due to his knock, but for Cooper the West Brom game brought to an end an eight-month spell on the sidelines following a serious knee injury that he sustained while playing against Wednesday in Sheffield last season.

Having both back for the visit of the Owls will be a welcome boost for Schumacher as they look to end a four-game winless streak in the second tier and make sure they don’t lose three back-to-back home games for the first time since 2021.

The two sides will lock horns at 7.45pm on Wednesday evening in a game that could potentially offer Röhl’s side a chance to climb off the foot of the table if results go their way.
