Wheeler could return as Portsmouth take on Burton
Posted Tuesday, October 23, 2018 by PA
Runaway League One leaders Portsmouth could welcome back loan signing David Wheeler for Tuesday’s encounter with Burton at Fratton Park.
Wheeler, who is on loan from QPR, suffered an ankle injury when Pompey took on Gillingham just over a fortnight ago.
But he could now return ahead of schedule as Portsmouth look to maintain their impressive form.
Andre Green, who is on loan from Aston Villa, remains sidelined due to a knee problem.
Burton, 13 places below their opponents, have a number of injury issues that will test their squad depth.
Despite a 3-2 away win against Plymouth two days ago, Burton boss Nigel Clough was without injured trio David Templeton, Marvin Sordell and Scott Fraser.
To make matters worse Damien McCrory withdrew just before kick-off.
Ben Turner was injured during the game, and Clough could easily be without all of them for what will be a demanding assignment.
