Plymouth Argyle future of on-loan Ibrahim Cissoko appears in doubt
Miron Muslic has stated on-loan Burnley striker Michael Obafemi wants to be at Plymouth Argyle until the end of the season but the head coach was less clear over the future of Ibrahim Cissoko at Home Park.
Cissoko, who is on loan from French top flight club Toulouse, has made only three short substitute appearances in the last seven games since he returned to the matchday squad for the 2-2 draw at home to Bristol City on Bristol City after recovering from a hip injury.
The Dutch under-21 international winger has had only a few minutes in two outings - against Oxford United and Queens Park Rangers - since Muslic took charge, and that has led to speculation he could move elsewhere before the 11pm transfer deadline on Monday.

Obafemi has been in and out of the Argyle squad recently and his only appearance since Muslic was appointed as head coach came as a late substitute against Oxford.
"I was very pleased with the week of Obafemi," said Muslic at a Press conference this lunchtime. "He has showed a very good attitude, a very good spirit. He wants to be here, he wants to play here and you can always impress me with this big heart and big attitude."
Muslic was asked whether Cissoko had been training with Argyle this week and was available for the squad for the Championship clash at home to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday (12.30pm) and he replied: "Let's see, I cannot confirm this."
Cissoko had an excellent start to the season for the Pilgrims as he out in some dazzling displays, most notably when he scored twice as a substitute in a Sky-televised 3-1 home win against Luton Town at the end of September.
However, he was sent-off before half-time when the Pilgrims were thrashed 5-0 at Cardiff City in mid-October and it emerged after that game he would need an operation, which kept him out of action until New Year's Day.
