Portsmouth defender Whatmough to have surgery on injured knee
Jack Whatmough will have to undergo an operation for his knee injury.
The Pompey defender picked up the setback in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Doncaster, limping out of the action in the first half.
Whatmough, 22, had an MRI scan yesterday and the results have shown he requires microfracture surgery - used to repair damaged articular cartilage.
And it means that the academy graduate is set for a long-term spell on the sidelines.
