Argyle could consider Earley loan recall - Rooney

Plymouth Argyle head coach Wayne Rooney says the club could recall Saxon Earley from his season-long loan spell at Lincoln City if he does not get more game time.

The 22-year-old left-sided player has yet to make a league appearance for the Imps having suffered a back injury.

He has made one start and one substitute appearance in the EFL Trophy, with his last appearance being a 10-minute cameo off the bench when Lincoln beat non-league Chesham 4-0 in the FA Cup first round more than a month ago.

"We have to monitor it and see what options we have," Rooney said.

"If he's not playing it's something which we'd look at, of course it is," he added when asked about a recall.

"We'd bring him back and have a look at him if that's the case, and then from there make a decision whether he stays with us or we put him out on loan again.

"That's purely on where we feel he's at and where we are as a squad."
