Portsmouth boss John Mousinho provided a triple injury update ahead of their League One finale against Lincoln City.

Long-term absentees Tom Lowery, Ben Stevenson, and Terry Devlin are available for the clash at the LNER Stadium (27 April) having come through training unscathed this week.

It remains to be seen how the trio will be utilised for Pompey's League One farewell, with a return to the Championship as champions already confirmed.

In quotes reported by Portsmouth's official website (26 April), Mousinho said: "Tom Lowery, Ben Stevenson and Terry Devlin have all been training – they’re fit and ready to go on Saturday.

“There are no new injuries and so it’s going to be difficult with so many players to choose from. Whoever we pick, we’ll be strong.”

Portsmouth get nice injury boost for League One farewell at Lincoln

Lowery has been out since February with a hamstring injury, fellow midfielder Stevenson sustained knee ligament damage at the start of the year, and Devlin sustained a shoulder injury in February.

Portsmouth flourished in the trio's absence and clinched a memorable title triumph but having the trio back for the final game is another nice boost in what has been a memorable couple of weeks for Mousinho, his squad, and the brilliant Pompey faithful.

Mourinho described the recent period as a "whirlwind" and there has certainly been a lot to take in recently on the back of an outstanding achievement that will live long in the memories of supporters.

Hopefully Pompey can finish with a flourish against a Lincoln side who need a win to guarantee a play-off position in League One. Either way the celebrations are sure to continue to celebrate what a job well done. Then, it's on to the Championship…
