Plymouth:
Plymouth Argyle have been told that Kaine Kesler-Hayden has been recalled from his loan spell by Premier League title challengers Aston Villa to be involved with their first team squad.
Argyle director of football Neil Dewsnip has also confirmed that a replacement for the 21-year-old defender will be announced by the Pilgrims 'in the near future'. He received a phone call from Aston Villa's head of emerging talent and loans, Adam Henshall, at around 6.30pm last night to inform him that they were exercising a recall option in his loan deal.
Kesler-Hayden has made 19 starts and five substitute appearances for Argyle in the Championship this season. He becomes the fourth player to leave the club since the start of the January transfer window. It follows the departures of on-loan duo Finn Azaz and Luke Cundle, who were recalled by Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively, and Macaulay Gillesphey.
Azaz was subsequently sold to Middlesbrough in a £2.5 million transfer while Cundle joined Steven Schumacher's Stoke City on loan and Gillesphey was sold to League One outfit Charlton Athletic for an undisclosed fee.
