Plymouth's Boateng out for six weeks with injury
- Published
Plymouth Argyle midfielder Malachi Boateng has been ruled out of action for at least six weeks due to injury.
The 24-year-old suffered knee ligament damage during the Pilgrim's 1-1 draw against Wycombe on Saturday.
Earlier in the week, head coach Tom Cleverley had described the match as "the highest intensity game" he had been involved with at the club.
Speaking after Plymouth's 4-2 loss against Coventry in the EFL Cup second round, Cleverley confirmed the length of the midfielder's absence, but said "it could have been a lot worse."
"It's going to be six to eight weeks," he told BBC Radio Devon.
"Whenever someone has an issue with any kind of knee instability we know that is a ligament problem, and so you fear the worst.
"We're not happy to miss him for 10 to 12 league games but it could have been a lot worse, and so we're happy with that news."
