Date earmarked for Donohue's Portsmouth first-team returnÂ

The former Chesterfield man has yet to feature for Kenny Jackett's men this season because of illness and injury.

However, he is now approaching a week back in full training during a comeback from a hamstring problem.

And the Blues boss is eyeing Tuesday night's Checkatrade Trophy trip to Crawley as an opportunity for Donohue's maiden appearance this term. 

Jackett said: '˜Donohue is perhaps looking at the Checkatrade at some point.

'˜A week to 10 days training is ideal, I think next week will be okay with him.'
