John Mousinho faces some intriguing calls against Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow.
The chief focus will be on who starts between the sticks with Nico Schmid facing up 12 weeks with a hand injury picked up against Southampton.
Ben Killip and new boy Josef Bursik after the considerations in the key area at Fratton Park, while the situation at left-back is under the microscope with Conor Ogilive rated ‘50-50’ for the game after his collision with Schmid.
Elsewhere, the likes of Luke Le Roux and Marlon Pack are pushing for inclusion in midfield, but this is how Pompey writer Jordan Cross thinks Mousinho will go.

6. LB Connor Ogilvie
Rated as 50-50 by John Mousinho and was in a bad way after Southampton. Close call whether he continues, but it would have to be a heavy injury to keep Ogilvie on sidelines. Photo: Steve Bailey

Being pushed by Luke Le Roux and now fit-again Marlon Pack, but put in the best display of his Pompey career last weekend. Has to dictate in a similar way to justify his place in the starting XI. Photo: Simon Roe

Absolutely flying in terms of form and now the first midfielder on the team-sheet. | Stephen Flynn
