2. Josh Murphy
Murphy was heavily impacted by various injury issues last term, which restricted the dangerman to just 16 outings. After undergoing groin surgery in April, the winger is stepping up his recovery and is close to a return to full training. The 31-year-old is looking to be fit for the Blues’ trip to West Ham in the Carabao Cup on August 8. | Dennis Goodwin/ProSportsImages
3. Franco Umeh
Umeh struggled for fitness in his maiden campaign at Fratton Park, totalling just 45 minutes of first-team action. The Republic of Ireland youth international is back in training, but has yet to feature in the Blues’ pre-season programme, with Mousinho admitting the winger won’t be rushed back. Umeh could feature in Saturday’s trip to Wycombe Wanderers. | Habibur Rahman
4. Connor Ogilvie
The left-back underwent knee surgery earlier this month, which is expected to see him miss the start of the new season. Mousinho was anticipating Ogilvie to sit out 4-6 weeks of action, which would also see him sidelined for the rest of pre-season. | Habibur Rahman
