Portsmouth pre-season: live coverage as Blues report back for training - who's there, who's not & number of triallists
The Blues have reported back for training with less than six weeks to go until their League One opener – with details of that and the rest of fixtures to be revealed on Thursday.
Manager Danny Cowley will be accompanied by the majority of the squad that finished 10th last season, with just the five loaness he had on board and the now departed Shaun Williams the only notable changes.

Hide AdAiden O'Brien is yet to agree new terms with the Fratton Park club so it will be interesting to see if he is there.
We’ll keep our eyes peeled on that front and keep you up to date, too, on who else is there – with pre-season training often used to run the eye over triallists.
Our live coverage will also include a chat with Cowley at around 4pm, so stick around as we bring the latest from Pompey’s return to Roko.

Triallists are here
We’re hearing that there’s four triallists here today, with one a keeper.
Unfortunately, we’re being asked to keep their names toi ourselves at the moment.
Welcome to our live coverage of Pompey’s return to pre-season training.
Fifty-one days have passed since the Blues’ last outing of the 2021-22 season, while just 40 sit between now and the start of the 2022-23 campaign.
There’s plenty of work to do both on and off the pitch as Danny Cowley’s side look to improve on last term’s 10th-place finish.
And with Cowley yet to add any new additions to his squad, his workload shows no sign of decreasing as he enters his second full season in charge at Fratton Park.
