Callum Lang has been handed a Pompey comeback in their potential promotion-clincher at Bolton.

However, he returns at the Trotters, coming in for Kusini Yengi as one of two changes to the team which beat Shrewsbury.

Joe Rafferty is recalled at right-back, with Zak Swanson, who started against the Shrews, not in the squad.
