Portsmouth defender Christian Burgess nominated for PFA prize
Christian Burgess is in contention to be crowned PFA Bristol Street Motors League One Player of the Month Award for January,
The Pompey defender is on a six-player shortlist vying for the accolade.
Burgess featured in all four of the Blues’ league games last month, as well as FA Cup wins over Fleetwood and Barnsley and the EFL Trophy quarter-final triumph against Scunthorpe.
He netted the match-winner in the 1-0 win at Bolton as Kenny Jackett’s men went unbeaten throughout January.
Burgess is battling for the gong with Rotherham midfielder Dan Barlaser, Peterborough talisman Ivan Toney, Sunderland forward Chris Maguire, Coventry’s Sam McCallum and ex-Blues striker John Akinde – who departed Lincoln for Gillingham during the transfer window.

Should the centre-back be successful, it’ll mean the monthly prize will go to a Pompey player for a third successive month, after Ronan Curtis won it in November and December.
