Injury Crisis Leaves Pompey Squad Skating On Thin Ice Ahead Of Southampton Showdown

Portsmouth manager John Mousinho faces an injury crisis ahead of Sunday's match against Southampton at St Mary's, with up to nine players potentially unavailable. Key centre-back Conor Shaughnessy is set to miss the showdown due to a knee injury, while Blackburn loanee Benjy Arthur is also sidelined.

Additional long-term absentees include Connor Ogilvie, Josh Murphy, Thomas Waddingham, Franco Umeh, and Luke Brooke-Smith, who suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle. Joint-top scorer Marko Milovanovic remains a doubt with a calf injury, though the international break may give him a chance to feature.
