Pompey are back in action on Saturday afternoon as they face newly-promoted Lincoln City at Sincil Bank.
The Blues will be looking to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to QPR last weekend, which leaves John Mousinho’s men in the relegation zone after the opening round of fixtures.
The Imps, now under joint-managers Tom Shaw and Chris Cohen, will also be targeting their first three points of the season after suffering a 2-1 reverse to Middlesbrough.
Pompey were without a number of key players for their Championship curtain raiser, with Mousinho expected to provide fresh updates on his current crop of absentees in his pre-match press conference later this week.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this Saturday’s contest at Sincil Bank.
13. Josef Bursik - Out
Bursik is close to a full return to training, four months after sustaining a calf injury in the 3-1 triumph over Stoke City. Once fit, however, the Blues will sanction an exit for the keeper, who has fallen down Mousinho's goalkeeping pecking order following the signing of Daniel Bielica. | Alun Roberts/ProSportsImages
14. Tayo Singerr - Out
The youngster is still sidelined with a hamstring issue, which kept him out of all of the Blues' pre-season fixtures. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
