Morris is expected to be sidelined for another month, but Kenny Jackett believes the ‘last resort’ can finally resolve the frustrating situation.

Pompey’s boss said: ‘The different doctors and specialists suggested Bryn could rehab it, but it doesn't look like that is the case.

‘He will be having an operation to open up his stomach/high groin area and see what the problem is. Hopefully it will sort it out once and for all.

‘His stomach area has been the issue, it is a very, very sensitive area, particularly the upper and lower abdomen.

‘Bryn has again tried to rehab but, as ever with everything, not just football, an operation is the last resort – and it is the last resort in this particular instance.

‘Every time he has tried to come back, he has broken down pretty quickly within a few days, and he’s a player with a really high work ethic and gym work.

‘The day hasn’t been set, but he will have an operation in the next week.

‘That will keep him out for anything from 2-4 weeks, then he can start working outside and from there depends on how he feels day-by-day.’

Morris’ last competitive outing for the Blues was in May’s 1-1 draw with Accrington.
