Plymouth Argyle's central midfield has been boosted by news that both Brendan Wiredu and Bradley Ibrahim are fit to play against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.
Argyle had been forced to recall youngster Caleb Roberts from his loan at Truro City earlier this month with Jamie Paterson moving inside to partner ever-present Malachi Boateng.
The crisis was compounded earlier this month by news that Herbie Kane would not play again this season.
But Ibrahim, 21, who has been out since February with an ankle injury, and 26-year-old Wiredu are both set to return on Saturday.
Wiredu has been out for a month after undergoing abdominal surgery.
"We've got a much stronger pool of players to pick from this week than we did have last," head coach Tom Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon.
"We'll certainly be sleeping a little bit easier knowing we've got more cover for that central midfield position, that's for sure.
"It's a real key part of the pitch, and I think Jamie Paterson's done a fantastic job for us in there, but to have specialists for that position back involved gives us a big boost."
