Charlton Athletic v Portsmouth: Early team and injury news as 16 out and 1 doubt for pivotal survival showdown

Pompey make the midweek trip to the capital this evening to face Charlton Athletic.

Championship football is coming thick and fast for Pompey, who face relegation rivals Charlton Athletic this evening.

The Blues will be looking for a much-needed return to winning ways following successive 1-0 defeats to both Preston North End and Sheffield United.

The game was, of course, rearranged following December’s postponement following a medical emergency just 10 minutes into the original fixture.

A win this evening could move John Mousinho’s men four points clear of the bottom three, while Charlton go into the contest off the back of a clear weekend with no Championship or FA Cup involvement.

We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of tonight’s crucial contest at The Valley.
