After the final international stoppage of the season, Pompey are back in action this Friday as they make the trip to Carrow Road to face Norwich City.
The run-in commences this weekend, with the Blues sitting just one point above the relegation zone as the campaign’s climax is within reach.
John Mousinho was without nine members of his squad for the 6-1 thrashing by QPR last time out, while Ebou Adams’ fitness is being assessed after the head coach confirmed the midfielder sustained a knee issue.
Meanwhile, Terry Devlin, Adrian Segecic and Gustavo Caballero all have one more game to manage before they return to the south coast from international duty with their respective nations.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of Pompey’s trip to Carrow Road later this week.
