Opening for Pompey as Harness powerfully crosses and Curtis meets first time but it’s over the top

Both teams go into a huddle

The striker takes to the pitch after that pre-match worry. Looked like he was moving a bit gingerly though.

A processing issue has prevented bringing you the video. Blame the Plough Lane wi-fi which won’t let me send large files. Twitter will be back next weekend...

Just a waiting game now to see if Marquis emerges in a few minutes when the teams take to the pitch. The likely change will be Byers coming in and Curtis moving into the striker’s role.

John Marquis has just gone down after some shooting drills. Looks uncomfortable and moving gingerly. Taken another shot and now gone down the tunnel

Pompey just going through an eight-a-side. Will post video shortly
