Huge Portsmouth boost with shock return for Fratton favourite in Leicester relegation clash
Blues boosted by return of hugely influential pair against Leicester
John Mousinho has sprung a selection surprise with Josh Murphy returning for Pompey duty against Leicester City.
The influential winger hasn’t featured since December after being ruled out of the season with a broken toe.
However, he has this afternoon been named on the Blues’ bench for the huge relegation clash with Leicester - the club which attempted to sign him earlier in the campaign.
With Ebou Adams also back following a knee injury and taking his place among the substitutes, it represents timely returns for the popular pair.
Mousinho has made two changes to the side which beat Ipswich 2-0, with Conor Chaplin now eligible and Keshi Anderson recalled.
They replace John Swift and Adrian Segecic in the starting XI, while Florian Bianchini drops out of the 20-man squad.
Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Poole, Shaughnessy, Williams, Pack, Dozzell, Alli, Chaplin, Anderson, Bishop.
Subs: Bursik, Swift, Dia, Segecic, Bowat, Murphy, Blair, Adams, Brown.
