First-team coach Jake Wigley may take charge of Pompey reserves against AFC Bournemouth.

The Blues were due to meet the Cherries in Central League Cup last week at Baffins Milton Rovers’ PMC Stadium.

However, the heavy rain caused the clash to be postponed.

Either first-team coach Jake Wigley or academy boss Mark Kelly will be in charge of the side.

Luke McGee could line-up in between the posts for Pompey, while youngsters such as Leon Maloney, Bradley Lethbridge and Joe Hancott are likely to feature.
