Callum Lang blow as Portsmouth boss makes three changes for Charlton clash - but popular player returns
John Mousinho has made three changes to the side which drew against QPR on Boxing Day
Callum Lang is missing from Pompey duty for tonight’s crucial Fratton Park clash with Charlton.
The popular attacker represents one of three changes to the side which drew 1-1 to QPR on Boxing Day.
However, while Colby Bishop and Mark Kosznovszky drop to the bench, Lang is absent from the 20-man match-day squad.
Instead there are recalls for Makenzie Kirk, Adrian Segecic and Marlon Pack, with the latter taking back the captaincy from the benched Bishop.
There is also a welcome return to the squad for Conor Shaughnessy, who takes his place among the substitutes after being sidelined since September with a hamstring injury.
There is still no Florian Bianchini and Luke Le Roux, while Connor Ogilvie, Josh Murphy, Thomas Waddingham, Josh Knight and Jacob Farrell remain out with injury.
Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Matthews, Poole, Swanson, Dozzell, Pack, Segecic, Chaplin, Blair, Kirk.
Subs: Bursik, Williams, Shaughnessy, Bowat, Swift, Kosznovszky, Umeh, Yang, Bishop.
