Stephen Henderson set for second Portsmouth debut

Posted Thursday, February 01, 2018 by PA

Stephen Henderson is in line to make his second debut for Portsmouth when they host Doncaster in Sky Bet League One.

Goalkeeper Henderson rejoined the club on a loan deal until the end of the season from Nottingham Forest before the transfer deadline. He played one season at Fratton Park between 2011 and 2012, where he made 27 appearances in all competitions before signing for West Ham.

Fellow loan signing Anton Walkes could also make his first appearance for the club after the full-back joined from Tottenham this week.

Adam May will miss out due to suspension following his dismissal during Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to Shrewsbury, while Jack Whatmough is unlikely to feature despite returning to training after a knee injury.

Doncaster’s new signings Tom Anderson and Andy Boyle will both be included in Darren Ferguson’s squad.

Anderson and fellow defender Boyle, signed on loan until the end of the season from Burnley and Preston respectively, could make their debuts for the club.

Midfielder Lee McCullough and striker Alex Kiwomya will return to the squad after long-term absences.

McCullough (knee) has yet to appear for Rovers this season – he also missed most of the previous campaign due to a separate cruciate ligament injury – while Kiwomya has recovered from an auto-immune disease.
