Argyle waiting on Mackie fitness

Mackie (flu) was ruled out of the 3-0 midweek FA Cup third-round replay defeat at Newcastle United.The five-goal joint top scorer - winger Alan Judge also has five goals to his name - was replaced by Ashley Barnes in attack.Icelandic international Kari Arnason shrugged off a leg injury to play at centre half alongside fit-again Chris Barker in an otherwise unchanged line-up from the starting XI that drew 0-0 with the Magpies at Home Park last time out.Barnes was substituted on the hour by Cillian Sheridan, who has now gone on loan to St Johnstone.Midfielder Jim Patterson (hamstring) is still an injury doubt while winger Yannick Bolasie has returned from his loan spell at Barnet and comes back into consideration having been cup-tied for Wednesday's trip.
