The centre-back duo have been given the green light to feature for the remainder of the season and signed short-term extensions to their Blues deals.

Burgess has agreed to join Royale Union Saint-Gilloise this summer and there were doubts whether the Belgium side would allow him to be involved in the four-team tournament.

Meanwhile, Raggett is out of contract at Norwich and there was uncertainty if he’d be allowed to represent Kenny Jackett’s side.

Both have been given the thumbs up, though, and it represents a big boost to Pompey’s promotion chances.

Here’s how fans have been reacted on Twitter...

Great work lads let's make it a good send off for @Burgey44

@jody_mcgrath

Please tell me you switched @Burgey44 contract at the last minute and you’ve tricked him into signing another two years..
