Frustrations continued for Pompey on Saturday afternoon after falling to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stoke City at Fratton Park.
The Blues make the trip to Birmingham City next weekend aiming for a return to winning ways, having picked up just one point in their last three games.
However, John Mousinho will continue to be without a number of key figures for the St Andrews contest, with eight players currently in the treatment room.
The latest to join Pompey’s cohort of injured players was Adrian Segecic, who suffered an ankle problem in the midweek defeat to league leaders Coventry City.
We’ve taken a look at the latest situations over the current injured members in Mousinho’s squad - and when they could be back.
5. Callum Lang
After missing two months of action at the backend of last season, Lang suffered a fresh hamstring injury against Norwich in August. The forward was initially ruled out for 4-8 weeks before undergoing surgery. The operation would push back his return date and his comeback has been pencilled against Millwall. | Pro Sports Images
6. Conor Shaughnessy
The centre-back suffered a hamstring injury against Sheffield Wednesday last month. A 12-week timescale was pencilled in for his return, meaning a comeback could be in December. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
7. Nicolas Schmid
Josef Bursik has been a suitable replacement in Schmid’s absence following a setback against Southampton last month. The keeper sustained a broken hand during the south-coast derby and was expected to be out for up to 12 weeks. | Getty Images
8. Adrian Segecic
The Aussie sensation became the latest member of the squad to join the treatment room after suffering an ankle issue moments after coming on against Coventry on Tuesday. Mousinho admitted his injury isn’t as bad as first feared and is expected to be out for between 4-6 weeks. The earliest the winger could return could be after the international break against Millwall next month. | Dennis Goodwin/ProSportsImages
