Pompey bid to make it six games unbeaten against high-flying Wycombe at Adams Park today.

The Blues face a tough challenge against Gareth Ainsworth’s side, with the match going ahead despite the home side having three players on international duty.

Pompey are without Joe Morrell and Gavin Bazunu and have a number of injury concerns going into the game.

That raises the prospect of academy youngsters being involved, with the Blues down to as few as 14 fit senior players.

Pompey players just fine-tuning their shooting. Video uploaded shortly.

Talk that Christian Burgess is in the away end today. Would make sense with it being an international break.

Pompey drawn away to Exeter in EFL Trophy.

Three changes from Harrow in the FA Cup. Out go Morrell, Bazunu and Marquis and in come Bass, Thompson and Hirst. There’s also three academy players on the bench - keeper Toby Steward and defenders Izzy Kaba and Harvey Hughes.

Here’s the Wycombe side

I’ve also been informed Reeco Hackett is injured and unavailable for today, meaning Miguel Azeez almost certainly starts. Team news confirmed in 15.

There’s no sign of John Marquis at Adams Park and The News understands the striker misses out on today’s match through injury.

Paul Downing is out on the pitch at Fratton Park. Danny Cowley has indicated the defender will be raced back from injury - and he certainly has, with a place in today’s squad by the looks of things.
