Captain Nelson expected to feature
Plymouth captain Curtis Nelson should be fit to play against Carlisle despite pulling out of action during their 2-1 home defeat to Portsmouth at the weekend.
The 22-year-old defender sustained a cut above his eye after a clash of heads with Pompey substitute Jayden Stockley, but Pilgrims boss Derek Adams said the cut would not prevent Nelson from featuring on Tuesday night.
He told www.pafc.co.uk: "He's ready for tomorrow night, so no problems there. The squad seems to be in good shape. We got through Saturday unscathed."
Striker Jake Jervis will undergo fitness tests as he looks to return to the side after missing the Portsmouth game with a groin problem.
Carlisle defender David Atkinson is unlikely to shake off a hamstring injury in time to be included in Keith Curle's squad.
Atkinson is set to have a scan on the injury which kept him out of Saturday's 4-4 home draw against Cambridge and Tom Miller is expected to start again in his absence.
Striker Steven Rigg is hoping to return to contention after missing out at the weekend due to a knock sustained in last week's Capital One Cup win against Chesterfield.
Midfielder Kevin Osei, striker Angelo Balanta and defender Alex McQueen are all pushing for their first league starts.
