Lines to miss Plymouth cup tie
Midfield playmaker Chris Lines is set to miss Sunday’s FA Cup game against Plymouth Argule because of injury.
Lines, an increasingly influential figure this season, missed the New Year’s Day game against Preston with a cracked rib, an injury that also rules him out of the FA Cup third round tie.
However, midfielder Anthony Griffith is back from suspension while Chris Shuker also impressed during the first-half at Deepdale.
Striker Jordan Hugill could also be in contention after scoring Vale’s second goal against Preston.
