Attention turns to this evening’s trip to South Wales for Pompey after Saturday’s abandoned contest against Charlton Athletic.
The game was called off after 12 minutes due to a medical emergency, with the fixture now being played in full at a later date.
This means John Mousinho’s men head to the Swansea.com Stadium tonight in 22nd position, having picked up 17 points from the opening 18 games.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this evening’s showdown in South Wales.
5. Franco Umeh - Out
Pompey are still building up the 20-year-old’s fitness after a hamstring injury, which has forced him to miss the opening months of the campaign. The winger is back in full training but it remains to be seen when a return date could be. | Portsmouth FC
6. Regan Poole - Doubt
The ever-present defender was a shock absentee at The Valley, having started all of Pompey’s Championship fixtures to date. Mousinho admitted the Welshman missed the trip to the capital with an ankle problem, which was sustained in training on Friday but is hopeful this issue isn’t too serious. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
7. Conor Shaughnessy - Out
Shaughnessy’s recovery from a hamstring issue is progressing well, having missed more than two-and-a-half months of action. The central defender has been pencilled in to compete his comeback later this month. | Stephen Flynn/ProSportsImages
8. Jacob Farrell - Out
It remains to be seen when Farrell could return to the side as a problematic groin continues to keep him sidelined. | Paul Phelan/ProSportsImages
