‘Loads more to come’: Portsmouth boss keen to capitalise on surprise international snub

Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho wants to capitalize on midfielder Rocco Shein reportedly turning down an international call-up for Estonia during the upcoming break. Although Mousinho was previously unaware of the decision, he welcomes the opportunity to work with the 23-year-old on the training ground over the three-week Championship pause.

Shein joined Portsmouth from Fredrikstad in July for £2 million and has started seven of the club's eight matches this season. Mousinho noted that Shein is continuing to adapt to the Championship's intensity, with the break offering valuable rest and dedicated training time.
