Jack Whatmough is out of Pompey’s top-of-the-table clash at Hull.
The influential defender is missing from Kenny Jackett’s squad through illness, having felt unwell this morning.
That signals a recall for Rasmus Nicolaisen, representing the only change to the starting XI in Tuesday evening’s goalless draw with Fleetwood.
It is the Dane’s first League One appearance since taken off at half-time in last month’s 2-2 draw at Plymouth.
Following his promotion into the side, Bryn Morris comes onto the bench to complete the match-day 18.
Pompey: MacGillivray, Johnson, Raggett, Nicolaisen, Pring, Harness, Naylor, Cannon, Curtis, Williams, Marquis.
Subs: Bass, Close, Morris, Harrison, Hiwula, Mnoga, Jacobs.
