In a cruel blow Whatmough has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

He will have surgery on his injured knee.

Rocha, who played for Pompey from 2010 to 2013, is confident the key Blues man will be back in the heart of Kenny Jackett’s defence soon.

He tweeted: @JackWhatmough3 I wish you a great and speedy recovery! You've been there too many times mate and don't deserve it but I'm sure you'll come back stronger and get to your best again!! Come on!!’
