Shock first Portsmouth call-up as Blues involve youngster for Millwall trip
The former AFC Sudbury midfielder is named in John Mousinho’s squad
Pompey have retained the starting XI who performed so impressively to win at Charlton in the week.
Although there are two surprises on the bench, with Reuben Swann and Harvey Blair called into the Blues’ 20-man squad.
They replace Makenzie Kirk and Tayo Singerr, who drop out entirely having been unused on the bench in the Tuesday night 3-1 win at Charlton.
For Swann, who yesterday returned from a loan spell at the Hawks, it represents the first time he has made a competitive squad since arriving at Pompey in June 2024.
While Blair is back from the hip flexor problem he sustained against Arsenal - with the Blues having registered him in their 25-man Football League squad yesterday.
Elsewhere, Gustavo Caballero keeps his place on the right wing, with Adrian Segecic remaining on the bench, having been previously troubled by a dead leg.
Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Poole, Ogilvie, Swanson, Pack, Adams, Caballero, Swift, Alli, Bishop.
Subs: Bursik, Blair, Swann, Williams, Bowat, Brown, Dia, Segecic, Le Roux.
