Argyle boosted by top scorer Tolaj's return to fitness
· Yahoo Sports
Plymouth Argyle top scorer Lorent Tolaj could return to action in Friday's League One clash with play-off rivals Bolton Wanderers.
The 17-goal Swiss striker last played on 24 February, when he scored twice in a 5-2 win over Cardiff City, after suffering a leg injury.

He has experienced a disrupted 2026 having started just once since suffering a dead leg against Luton Town on 24 January.
"He's another one who's chomping at the bit to be used from the start," head coach Tom Cleverley said.
"We have to be careful whether we use him from the start on Friday and then not Monday, or use him for some of Friday and start him on Monday.
"It's highly unlikely he starts both games - Cardiff was one game in-between two injuries so in the last eight weeks he's only played one game, so we'll be smart with that."
Argyle pride in Pepple after Canada call-up
Bim Pepple has still to make his international debut for Canada [Shutterstock]Argyle hope to have Tolaj's strike partner Bim Pepple back home in time for the Good Friday clash.
The 23-year-old has spent the international break away with Canada after earning his first call-up.
Pepple did not feature in either of the country's friendlies in Toronto - they drew 0-0 with Tunisia on Wednesday after a 2-2 draw against Iceland on Saturday.
But despite not featuring the field Cleverley is confident the experience with one of the three World Cup host countries will have helped his in-form forward.
"Bim has gone through the two sides in international football where you get called up, meet up with the guys and it's exciting to meet with the new players and train with that level of organisation," he told BBC Radio Devon
"Then not play both games is the downside of it and doing a lot of travelling, but it will have been an excellent experience for Bim, so we're proud of him, even for his call up."
Cleverley is confident that Pepple will be fit to play for the Pilgrims, despite having flown across the Atlantic before the match.
"Travel is part of playing for this football club, so it's not something that's new to us," he said.
"It's not ideal, but it's a big game, he's not doing this travel on the back of 90 minutes and extra time, he should be fresh.
"We have another option in that striking department to share the minutes with Tolaj back, so I've got absolutely no concerns with Bim, he'll be ready to go on Friday."
