The newest recruit Jack Sparkes, who penned a two-year with a club option at Fratton Park, will take part in his first session today with his new team-mates.

It remains to be seen whether Jay Mingi, who is contracted with the Blues until Saturday, will take part in this morning’s sessions with Pompey receiving no contact from the midfielder.

We’ll keep our eyes peeled over his involvement and any other new faces who could be involved this morning as the Blues continue their pre-season training.

Key Events

  • Pompey squad returned to training on Monday.
  • First glimpse of Blues’ seven summer recruits.
  • Mousinho’s squad jet off to Spain next week.

That looks to be it now for the first part of training with the players heading in for some lunch. Plenty of running and passing work the main parts of the morning session.

That running looks to be the end of this part of training with the players heading over to have a stretch.

The first glimpse of the newest recruit at Pompey, with Jack Sparkes overlooking the passing drill and looks to be getting ready to take some part in the session.

We’re back under way and in one group again. The squad are in two teams and are now in another passing drill.

The drills are complete so you know what that means.... It’s time for another run around the pitch again!

The all seeing eye is back and it looks like there are no triallists present today. Six of the seven signings have taken part in training so far.

We’re back out with the balls. The squad has been split up, a group of six are playing a 3 v 3 lead by Jon Harley, while the remainder of the group are with John Mousinho on the far side doing a passing drill.
