After the excitement of Saturday’s win, Plymouth Argyle have come down to earth a little this week.

Following Tuesday’s quarterfinal exit from the Vertu Trophy at the hands of Luton, Thursday brought news that star striker and top scorer Lorent Tolaj is going to be out of action for a month.

The Swiss forward picked up a muscle tear in the League One win over Luton in January but he came back to score twice in last weekend’s 5-2 win over leaders Cardiff.

Argyle boss Tom Cleverley does not believe that Tolaj needed more time out."He definitely didn't come back too quickly,” he said. “Three weeks for a dead leg is a significant amount of time. For his first game back, the occasion and the opposition, he went absolutely full throttle and got a small muscle tear. We will be without Tolly for four weeks."
