The front man was substituted on 84 minutes against Barnsley on Saturday.

He is yet to play a full 90 minutes for Kenny Jackett’s side, with the manager earlier this month expressing concerns about his fitness.

Despite that, Bogle has scored three goals in six appearances for the Blues – although missed a 61st-minute penalty in the goalless draw with the Tykes.

Thompson, meanwhile, is due to return after picking up a knee injury in training ahead of Pompey’s trip to Southend.

He was only two games into his comeback, after picking up a hamstring problem against Gillingham on Boxing Day.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday night’s visit to Bury, Jackett confirmed: ‘We’re waiting on Omar Bogle, who is having a scan on a tight hamstring.

‘Nathan Thompson has been in training and is fully fit and available for selection.

‘They’re the only ones who would be different from Saturday’s draw against Barnsley.’
