It’s been a strong start to the season at Fratton Park, with Pompey sitting just two points outside of the play-offs.
John Mousinho’s men are in the midst of a two-week international break before a hectic run begins against Bolton Wanderers on November 21.
Pompey are then in action nine times before the turn of the year, which includes a busy festive schedule.
The head coach is currently without nine members of his squad through injury and was left with 21 fit pros for their 2-1 defeat to Stoke City last time out.
We’ve taken a look at the injury latest and expected return dates of those absentees.

9. John Swift
The midfielder has been sidelined since the October international break with a knee injury, which he sustained in training. Swift will likely complete his comeback around a similar time to Anderson, with Mousinho explaining last week the 31-year-old was still six weeks away. Expected return: Mid-December. | Jason Brown

10. Luke Brooke-Smith
Brooke-Smith suffered significant injury in a horrific training ground accident in September. The young winger sustained a dislocated ankle, ligament damage and a fractured fibula, with Mousinho initially hopeful of a return before the end of the season. That optimism has increased, with the head coach looking to have the summer signing back in the new year. Expected return: January 2027. | Jason Brown
