Obafemi, 24, has now recovered and can play again. The Pilgrims have games this week coming up against Luton Town away on Wednesday night and then Cardiff City at home on Saturday afternoon.
In this latest update, Muslic has said, as per a report by PlymouthLive: “He was on a very good way, that’s why we rewarded him with minutes against West Brom and with minutes against Liverpool.
“I think he did it very well but unfortunately he got sick so we missed him. He was part of the training group today and we have a green light for him so he will be part of the selection again.”

Plymouth Argyle update regarding Michael Obafemi
Plymouth Argyle signed Obafemi on loan from Burnley last summer to boost their attacking department.
The Republic of Ireland international, who has 12 caps to his name, gives the Pilgrims more competition and depth in attack.
He has made 23 appearances in all competitions so far this season, 21 of which have come in the Championship, and he has scored three goals.
Burnley landed him back in 2022 on an initial temporary deal before his switch was made permanent shortly after.
Obafemi slipped down the pecking order with the Clarets and was loaned to Millwall in the last campaign before linking up with Plymouth Argyle.
He played for Southampton from 2016 to 2021 before he was sold to Swansea City.
The Dublin-born man found the net on 15 occasions in 52 outings for the Swans.
What now for Michael Obafemi and Plymouth Argyle?
Obafemi will be pushing to start for Plymouth Argyle as they gear up for their crucial games coming up against Luton Town and Cardiff City.
They were beaten 2-0 away at Blackburn Rovers last time out and will want to return to winning ways.
The Pilgrims are sat in 23rd place in the table and are two points from safety behind Hull City as they look to hit some form.
Muslic’s men are joined in the bottom three along with Luton Town and Derby County.
Their upcoming opponents were beaten 1-0 at home by Sheffield United in their last game.
