The games keep coming thick and fast for Pompey, who have six games remaining to secure their Championship status for another season.
John Mousinho’s men sit just one point above the relegation zone ahead of Saturday’s trip to Middlesbrough as the race for survival intensifies.
The Blues were without nine players for their 2-2 draw against Oxford United last-time out, with a significant number of the head coach’s squad sidelined at a critical time of the campaign.
We’ve taken a look at the current injury list at Fratton Park and their expected return dates as the clock ticks down towards the end of the season.
5. Mark Kosznovszky
The Hungarian suffered a serious knee injury in the triumph over Charlton at Fratton Park in December. Damage to his MCL and ACL would rule the midfielder out of the second half of the campaign and isn't expected to complete his comeback until later this year. Expected return: November/December. | John Mallett/ProSportsImages
6. Josh Knight
Knight is another member of Mousinho's squad set to complete his long-awaited return against Middlesbrough this weekend. The centre-back was last seen in action in November and was initially ruled out due to bruising on the back. However, scans later showed the 28-year-old had suffered a stress fracture in the back. Knight recently returned to training and could be named in the squad at the Riverside Stadium. Expected return: Middlesbrough (April 11). | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
7. Josh Murphy
The winger has returned to full training after a four-month injury lay-off. It's been a frustrating injury-hit campaign for Murphy, who has been restricted to just 14 Championship outings this term. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since December after fracturing a metatarsal against Swansea, and was also nursing a number of other set-backs. Although Murphy has returned to training, Mousinho has ruled out any possible involvement in the final weeks of the season. Expected return: Pre-season. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
8. Ebou Adams
Adams has missed the Blues' previous two matches due to knee issue, which was picked up against QPR before the international break. Mousinho has pencilled in Pompey's huge showdown against Leicester City has his comeback. Expected return: Leicester City (April 18). | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
