Latest injury update on Plymouth Argyle defender Brendan Galloway The Zimbabwe international has not played for the Pilgrims since April due to a hamstring injury and had a recent setback in his recovery Steven Schumacher has revealed how another injury setback for Plymouth Argyle defender Brendan Galloway has further delayed his return to action.
The Zimbabwe international has had to deal with several fitness issues since joining the Pilgrims in the summer of 2021 and he missed the end of last season due to a hamstring injury which required surgery.
Galloway continued his rehabilitation throughout pre-season as he and another Pilgrims’ defender, Macaulay Gillesphey, recovered from operations.
At one stage, Schumacher thought Galloway would be back in contention before Gillesphey but that has not turned out to be the case.
Gillesphey has still yet to play for Argyle this season but was a substitute for the Carabao Cup second round tie against Crystal Palace at Home Park on August 29 and also the 4-1 Championship defeat away to Bristol City on Tuesday.
As for Galloway, there is no timetable for when he could be selected.

He was actually ahead of Macaulay Gillesphey at one point and then felt himself He had to go get more advice, there was a bit of inflammation around one of his tendons – the tendon was torn – so he had to have an injection to calm down.
“So he needs some time to recover.
He’s now had his second and final injection, so the plan is for him to start developing again on the pitch within the week This.
” Galloway has played just six games since December last year, all between February and April this year, with the most recent being a 2-1 League One away win against Shrewsbury Town on April 18 .
Schumacher added: “He just needs to build himself up.
He’s not far away from being competitive with the team.
He’s probably had two or three weeks of training with us and we’ve had planned for him a closed-door match, but that didn’t happen.
