But he is set to continue at right-back as Pompey go to The Hive.

Curtis Main is still sidelined with an ongoing knee problem.

Otherwise, it’s a clean bill of health for Paul Cook’s side as they face new boss Kevin Nugent’s outfit.

Cook is set to continue with the 4-2-3-1 formation he’s returned to in recent weeks. The Blues will be looking for their 14th league clean sheet of the season.
