13. Aji Alese
Alese registered just four minutes of football during his time at Fratton Park following his January arrival from Sunderland. After picking up a quad issue against Preston North End on debut, the set-back forced the centre-back to return to the north east for treatment and is not expected to feature again this term. Expected return: Pre-season. | Portsmouth FC Photo: Portsmouth FC
