Donohue will undergo a scan and Pompey await news if he’ll be able to feature at Loftus Road.

Jackett said: ‘Donohue’s injury is a shin injury which is quite a bad cut and will at least need stitches, although they are taking a precaution to scan him, making sure there are no broken bones in there.’
