The loanee was forced off with five minutes left in the draw against Doncaster with a thigh injury.

That led to Kal Naismith taking over as a makeshift keeper, with all three of the Blues' subs used.

Henderson was making just his second appearance of the season after being left in the cold by Nottingham Forest, after a year out with an Achilles problem.

Kenny Jackett confirmed the outlook doesn't look good for the 29-year-old.

The Pompey boss said: 'He says he felt his thigh pop.

'When you do that it's gone. It doesn't look good.

'It looks quite a severe one as it stands at the moment.'
