Injuries have decimated Pompey’s squad this season, with a number of key players missing various points of the campaign to date.
After fresh blows to Aji Alese and Conor Chaplin, the Blues suffered two further set-backs in Saturday’s defeat to Sheffield United.
That takes the tally of injured players up to 14 for Pompey, who make the trip to the capital on Tuesday looking to extend the gap to the relegation zone.
We’ve put together what we think could be the Blues strongest XI IF every player was currently available to Mousinho.
Do you agree with this starting XI & bench?
5. CB: Conor Shaughnessy
The Irishman has been frustrated by injury this season, with hamstring and quad issues limiting him to 10 appearances so far. Shaughnessy and Poole is Mousinho's go-to partnership at the heart of defence when the pair are fit, and that is likely to resume when the 29-year-old returns from the sidelines at the end of the month. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
6. LB: Connor Ogilvie
There's stiff competition developing at left-back, with Swanson filling in superbly as Ogilvie covers at centre-back. The 29-year-old could be given the nod when every player is back fit and available. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
7. CM: Ebou Adams
He only arrived in January but what a revelation the 30-year-old has been in midfield. Adams has added plenty of grit, strengthen and fire power, which has transformed Mousinho's engine room. Should he keep his form up, there's no doubt he could be in with a shout for the Player of the Season running. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
8. CM: Andre Dozzell
Dozzell has been a consistent performer in the engine room for the Blues this term and is beginning to form a solid partnership with Adams. Having missed just one game through suspension this term, Mousinho will be hoping Saturday's injury isn't too serious. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
