Baidoo ruled out until November with injury

Plymouth Argyle forward Michael Baidoo has had surgery on his hamstring and has been ruled out for 12 weeks.

The 27-year-old picked up the injury against Bristol City last week and is now not expected back until November.

Manager Tom Cleverley says his own history of injuries will help the Ghana international recover.

Cleverley said: "He's young, he's in great condition. I don't expect it to be any more than 12 weeks but unfortunately that is the best part of three months and that will take us towards November.

"I don't think he has got a better coach to manage him through these moments. I had plenty of them myself.

"We will look after him. His wife is expecting another baby, so that will be a nice healthy distraction for him. It's unfortunate for him because he was doing great for us in the pre-season.

"I thought he was someone who could really add something to the squad and we are just going to have to wait a little bit longer to see that."
