The Blues forward missed Saturday’s trip to AFC Wimbledon, after picking up a groin injury in the goalless draw with Gillingham at Fratton Park.

He hasn’t recovered sufficiently enough to return to the match-day squad for the visit of the Imps.

Pompey will utilise the same squad that travelled to south London at the weekend.

However, Jackett might decide to switch his attacking options.
