Millwall v Portsmouth: 14 players could miss clash at The Den in latest team news
Portsmouth’s upcoming clash against Millwall could see up to 14 players missing as both sides are being ravaged by injuries.
Pompey are aiming to keep pushing away from the relegation zone when they travel to London on Saturday (5 April) as they currently sit seven points above the bottom three.
That gap could be reduced if Derby win their game in hand, but Pompey will simply be focusing on themselves and the fixtures ahead of them.
John Mousinho’s men head into the game at The Den full of confidence after defeating Blackburn Rovers 1-0 in their last outing, with Josh Murphy scoring the only goal of the game.
However, the Blues boss is having to contend with a variety of injuries, which will end up impacting his team selection.
Portsmouth have injuries to deal with
Kusini Yengi picked up an injury during the international break while he represented Australia, and that led to the winger missing the Blackburn game. He is now rated 50/50 heading into this one as he has been back training this week.
