Kenny Jackett revealed Pitman felt his problem midway through the first half, although he tried to continue after the interval.
The ex-Bournemouth man will be assessed either tomorrow afternoon or Monday and that’s when Pompey will know the extent of it.
Blues boss Jackett said: ‘Brett had a groin injury. He felt it throughout the first half and thought he wasn’t doing the team justice so came off.

‘We’ll see how he is. I don’t think it’ll be a really bad tear but it’s hard to assess until Monday or perhaps tomorrow afternoon.’
