Pompey v Cheltenham: Early team news

With Amine Linganzi serving the third match of his suspension, Paul Cook has the option to retain the team which last weekend beat Mansfield.

Noel Hunt and Kal Naismith both made impacts off the bench in that 4-0 result, yet are unlikely to force their way into the starting XI.

Adam Buxton is pushing for a spot among the substitutes following his impressive reserve outing on Monday.

However, Curtis Main is still absent with an abdominal strain, but is expected to return to training next week.
