The central defender was rested from last weekend's visit to Accrington Stanley as a precaution.

The Gosport youngster is among three changes to the side which drew 1-1 at the Crown Ground.

With Nathan Thompson suspended, Anton Walkes comes in at right-back against the Bantams.

Meanwhile, Tom Naylor, who had a loan spell at Bradford earlier in his career, is back from suspension and replaces Ben Close in a holding-midfielder role.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Walkes, Whatmough, Clarke, Brown, Naylor, Ben Thompson, Lowe, Evans, Curtis, Hawkins.

Subs: McGee, Pitman, Burgess, Wheeler, Haunstrup, Wheeler, Close, Mason.
