Portsmouth to welcome back winger Michael Jacobs for Ipswich trip

Michael Jacobs will travel as part of the Pompey squad for Saturday’s game with Ipswich at Portman Road.

The winger has missed the Blues’ past 12 games in all competitions following a knee injury sustained in the 3-1 win at Sunderland in October.

The 29-year-old returned to training at the start of this week, having recovered from the ligament issue he sustained.

Boss Kenny Jackett said he would reserve judgement on when best to introduce the former Wigan ace back into the fray.

However, he has confirmed that Saturday’s trip to the Tractor Boys will have Jacobs being part of his plans.

Ipswich sit a point and a place above fourth-placed Pompey in the League One standings, so the manager is keen to have as strong a squad as possible travelling.

The Blues can report a clean bill of health, with Jacobs having played seven times since arriving on a free transfer in September.
