His last involvement in a match-day squad came as an unused substitute in a 2-1 defeat to Charlton seven days later.
After making 50 appearances during the 2017-18 season at Fratton Park, following a move from Tottenham for an undisclosed fee, the 23-year-old has dropped behind Craig MacGilivray and Alex Bass in the goalkeeping pecking order.
McGee featured for 45 minutes in the behind-closed-doors friendly at Brighton on Tuesday.

When asked if there had been any enquiries, the Blues boss said: ‘There hasn't been, no, which really surprises me.
'But, similarly, if people want a good goalkeeper he'll be on their list.’
