Pompey are in the middle of a concerning run of form, which has seen them win just one of their previous 11 Championship matches.
This has seen them slump to 20th in the standings heading into the latest international break of the campaign, with Millwall up next.
The Blues have been without a number of key personnel at various stages of the season, which has no doubt played a significant role in their worrying start.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel on the injury front for John Mousinho, with the cavalry set to return over the coming weeks.
We’ve taken a look at the latest situation of all of Pompey’s current injured cohort - and when they could be back from the sidelines.
9. Conor Shaughnessy
Pompey are missing Shaughnessy's presence at the back as he remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury. After picking up the issue against Sheffield Wednesday in September, the defender was given a three-month timeframe before a potential return. That continues to be the plan, with the 29-year-old expected to complete his comeback in December. | Manjit Narotra/ProSportsImages
10. Nicolas Schmid
Josef Bursik has come to Pompey’s aid in Schmid’s absence after the Austrian stopper broke his hand during the south-coast derby against Southampton in September. The 28-year-old should be another member of Mousinho’s injured cohort who could be back in time to face Millwall next week. | Getty Images
