    Brendan Wiredu has played 38 times for Plymouth Argyle this season

    Plymouth Argyle midfielder Brendan Wiredu will be out for four weeks after having abdominal surgery.

    The 26-year-old has been playing with an issue for the past few weeks

    "He's putting himself through everything," head coach Tom Cleverley said.

    "He can perform to a certain level, it's just that top-end explosive movements that are causing him real pain.

    "It's a fairly straightforward abdominal procedure that he'll have that will put him out for four weeks."

    The injury leaves Argyle light in midfield with loanee Herbie Kane unable to play against parent club Huddersfield Town on Saturday and Bradley Ibrahim also out.

    The club have recalled Caleb Roberts from his loan spell at National League club Truro City to cover the position.

    Cleverley will also make late calls on the fitness of top scorer Lorent Tolaj, midfielder Caleb Watts and defender Wes Harding before Saturday's clash with the Terriers at Home Park.
