Blackpool squad news V Plymouth Argyle: Five out of Pilgrims test
Blackpool take on Plymouth Argyle at Bloomfield Road this afternoon.
Blackpool’s injury situation has eased ahead of this afternoon’s meeting with Plymouth Argyle.
The Seasiders have struggled at the start of 2026, with just four points coming their way so far in the current calendar year.
Ian Evatt’s side were able to come away from the Accu Stadium with a 2-2 draw against Huddersfield Town last weekend, but would’ve been left disappointed after giving up a two-goal lead.
There were positives, with debutant Karoy Anderson marking his first outing in Tangerine with a goal, while fellow Deadline Day arrivals Reuell Walters and Leighton Clarkson also impressed.
Ashley Fletcher was also on the scoresheet in West Yorkshire, as he bagged his 19th goal of the season.
Ahead of the game against the Pilgrims, Blackpool have welcomed Albie Morgan, Fraser Horsfall and Hayden Coulson back to training, with all three in contention to feature.
Here’s the latest squad news:
Ryan Finnigan
Ryan Finnigan became the latest addition to Blackpool’s injury list this week, with the midfielder picking up an ankle injury against Huddersfield - which is set to keep him out for three to four weeks.
George Honeyman
George Honeyman was forced off just 11 minutes into last month’s game against Stockport County with a hamstring issue.
The midfielder could be back in training next week, and potentially in contention to take on Bolton Wanderers on February 21.
Joel Randall
Joel Randall was introduced at half time against the Hatters, but was forced off shortly after.
Like Honeyman, he’s expected back around the squad next week, and could be back for the Seasiders’ meeting with Lincoln City on February 28.
Andy Lyons
Andy Lyons was added to the injury list last month, with the defender ruled out for eight to 10 weeks with an achilles issue.
Dale Taylor
On what was his first start since October following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, Dale Taylor was forced off after just six minutes against Doncaster Rovers on Boxing Day.
The striker has since undergone surgery on a metatarsal injury, and is expected to be out for the foreseeable.
