Skipper Joe Edwards had started 10 of Plymouth Argyle's last 11 matches
Plymouth Argyle have been dealt a major injury blow on the eve of their trip to Leeds United. Captain Joe Edwards is expected to be out for the rest of the year due to a serious hamstring problem.
"We're going through a period where we're picking up injuries," said Argyle chief Wayne Rooney. "When you get injuries it's a good opportunity for other players to come in and try and stamp their claim to stay in the team." On the challenge of facing third-placed United, Rooney said: "We’re representing the football club, we’re going to try and win. We’ll suffer at times, we have to be resilient and pull together. When we get chances, we need to try and punish Leeds. We’ll be doing everything we can to do that.
After the Whites clash, the Pilgrims are scheduled to face Portsmouth and Derby County before the next international break.
