Ibrahim deserves chance to impress - Cleverley

Plymouth Argyle's head coach Tom Cleverley believes midfielder Bradley Ibrahim should be given a chance to start playing. The 21-year-old has only made one league appearance this season and has been largely restricted due to the recent arrival of Tyreeq Bakinson on loan. Ibrahim was sidelined for much of last term because of an ankle injury, signing from Hertha Berlin in June 2025 on a four-year contract.

However, Bakinson's unavailability against Leyton Orient this Saturday presents an opportunity for Ibrahim to demonstrate his potential. Cleverley praised Ibrahim's recent performances, highlighting his significant impact in the games he's come on as a substitute, including a strong showing against Crystal Palace. He also commended Ibrahim's professional development over the past year, noting the young midfielder's high training levels and continuous improvement. Cleverley expressed confidence that Ibrahim's progress will continue throughout the season.
