Morgan Whittaker Absent as Plymouth Loses 5-0 to Burnley

Plymouth Argyle forward Morgan Whittaker was absent for his team's 5-0 Championship defeat to Burnley, with head coach Miron Muslic confirming he 'didn't show up' in time for the match. This incident has fueled speculation regarding Whittaker's future, as he has been linked with a transfer to Burnley and Middlesbrough, with bids reportedly rejected. Muslic expressed disappointment, emphasizing the need for players who are committed and professional, stating that Whittaker remains under contract until a suitable fee is paid. The team's struggles were evident in the match, as they conceded all five goals in the first half, extending their winless league run to 14 games. Muslic, who took over coaching duties less than two weeks ago, faces the challenge of revitalizing a struggling squad. Whittaker's absence and the ongoing transfer rumors highlight tensions within the team as they navigate a difficult season.
