Attention turns back to Championship football for Pompey, who make the trip to Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon.
The Blues are in the midst of an injury crisis, with Harvey Blair and Franco Umeh the latest to join the list of absentees following last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.
John Mousinho’s men have welcomed two new additions to the squad, though, with both Millenic Alli and Ebou Adams making the move to PO4 during the week.
Pompey make the trip to Hillsborough to face Henrik Pedersen’s side, who have picked up just one win so far this season.
