Portsmouth boosted by coronavirus all-clear in latest round of testing

Blues players and staff were tested at the back end of the working week – and have now received the all-clear.

On Wednesday night, it was announced two unnamed players were found to be positive and are presently self-isolating away from the training ground.

However, Pompey can be encouraged by the latest test findings.

Kenny Jackett’s men faced Reading earlier today in their first friendly fixture ahead of the League One play-off campaign.

They suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Championship side, with Oli Hawkins netting.
