Portsmouth handed timely injury boost for crunch clash with West Bromwich Albion
Blues’ team news for the visit of West Brom
Regan Poole is back from injury to hand Pompey a boost for their crunch clash with West Bromwich Albion.
The defender has been troubled by a groin problem and was dropped to the bench against Southampton, while he didn’t return to training until Friday.
However, he has been declared fit and is expected to line up in the centre of defence with Zak Swanson, with Ibane Bowat dropping to the bench.
There is no place for recent loan signing from Sunderland Aji Alese, who is named among John Mousinho’s substitutes.
While Callum Lang was never expected to be involved following injury and is presently finalising a move to Preston North End.
Jacob Farrell drops out of the 20-man squad, which will intensify suspicion that he’s in the process of completing a loan deal away from Fratton Park.
Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Poole, Swanson, Ogilvie, Adams, Dozzell, Segecic, Chaplin, Alli, Bishop.
Subs: Bursik, Bowat, Alese, Kirk, Anderson, Le Roux, Swift, Pack, Williams.
