Lowe to miss Pompey opener against Luton

And the Pompey winger could even miss the Blues' opening four games of the season after suffering an ankle injury in Saturday's final pre-season friendly against FC Utrecht at Fratton Park.

Lowe was substituted midway through the second half after falling awkwardly.

Pompey boss Kenny Jackett confirmed today that the former Hampton & Richmond player suffered a ligament strain and will be out for '˜2-3 weeks'.

However, he remains hopeful that Lowe can make a quick recovery.

Speaking to The News, Jackett said: '˜It looks like his ankle strain may take two to three weeks.

'We hope it's the better end of that and won't take too long.

'But it could have been a lot worse when you see him limp off like that.

'You know, he's a quick healer, Jamal, and we hope within two weeks he's back.'
