Portsmouth predicted XI & bench v Wolves: 3 changes as injury crisis continues

Pompey’s demanding Championship schedule continues this evening as John Mousinho’s men make the trip to Wolves.

The fixture was, of course, postponed on two occasions in September due to fixture congestion outside of the Blues’ control.

This means Mousinho’s troops are in action for the fourth time in 10 days as his depleted ranks travel to the West Midlands for their first Molineux visit in 17 years.

The head coach could be without as many as 11 players tonight after the Blues’ injury crisis worsened on Saturday when Colby Bishop pulled up in the warm up against Norwich City.

While the extent of his knee issue remains uncertain, academy defender Nathaniel Chioma was recalled on Monday, which suggests he could travel to Wolves.

Josh Murphy, Thomas Waddingham, Conor Shaughnessy, Benjy Arthur, John Swift, Luke Brooke-Smith, Franco Umeh, Connor Ogilvie, Mark Kosznovszky and Keshi Anderson are all sidelined due to injury.

A win could potentially lift Mousinho’s troops into the play-offs and above eighth-placed Wolves, who secured a 2-1 win over Burnley last time out.

Amid Pompey’s ongoing injury crisis, here’s how we think the Blues could line-up at Molineux.
