Andy Cannon returns as Portsmouth make three changes for crucial Fleetwood clash

Hide AdEllis Harrison is back following the birth of his son, while Ross McCrorie is named at right-back.
Out go the injured Ben Close (ankle), John Marquis and Jack Whatmough, with James Bolton moving over from full-back to the centre of defence.
Whatmough is not included in the 18-man squad, with Paul Downing instead serving as the defender on the bench.
There is also a recall for Gareth Evans among the substitutes, but no place for Brett Pitman.
