Johnson set for Pilgrims start

27 August 2010 12:30
Plymouth will be without defender Kari Arnason for the visit of Peterborough. Arnason was shown a straight red card in the closing stages of the 2-1 defeat at Walsall last weekend so Reda Johnson is set to be back in the heart of the defence after returning to full training. On-loan duo David Button and Dean Parrett are in contention for starting places after returning to Tottenham earlier in the week to be assessed by their parent club's sports science department. Button has started all three of the Pilgrims games this term while Parrett made his full debut in the Banks's Stadium defeat. Manager Peter Reid told Herald Sport: "A proviso of their deals was that they will go back to Spurs at intermittent periods and be assessed by them. That was agreed with (Tottenham manager) Harry Redknapp and I have got no problem with it."
