The Blues face Wycombe this afternoon in their fourth pre-season friendly

Daniel Bielica goes straight into Pompey’s squad for this afternoon’s Wycombe friendly.

However, fellow new signing Makro Milovanovic isn’t included in the 23-man squad against the League One side.

While there are welcome injury returns for Zak Swanson and Ebou Adams, who are both named on the bench at Adams Park.

Bielica is among three goalkeepers on duty, although it’s Nicolas Schmid who starts against the Chairboys. Instead the Pole and Ben Killip are among the substitutes.

The bench also includes triallist Arvin Appiah and Thomas Waddingham, with the latter having been left out of the last two friendlies as a precaution.

Mousinho’s starting XI includes a first start for Rocco Shien, who partners Odin Bailey in the centre of midfield.

Once again there’s no Marlon Pack, Josh Murphy, Keshi Anderson, Jacob Farrell, Franco Umeh, Mark Kosznovszky and Tayo Singerr, who all miss out through injury.

Brandon Downey, who scored at Bristol Rovers last weekend, and other Academy youngsters and first-year pros are also not involved at Adams Park.

Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Shaughnessy, Dia, Williams, Bailey, Shein, Blair, Segecic, Kenny, Bishop.

Subs: Bielica, Killip, Appiah, Knight, Poole, Swift, Matthews, Le Roux, Bowat, Waddingham, Swanson, Adams.
