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.
9. Thomas Waddingham - Out

10. Josh Knight - Doubt
Knight was not named in the starting XI for Saturday’s abandoned game against Charlton after injuring his back last week. Mousinho is hopeful the 28-year-old could be fit to return to action this evening. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
11. Andre Dozzell - Out
Dozzell was forced to miss Saturday’s trip to Chartlon Athletic as he served a one-game suspension, having picked up five yellow cards. But with the contest at The Valley abandoned after just 12 minutes, FA rules state a ban can only be fulfilled if the fixture was fully completed. This means the midfielder’s suspension will roll over to this evening’s showdown against Swansea. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
