No fresh concerns for Portsmouth ahead of Sunderland encounter

Portsmouth manager Kenny Jackett has no new injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s clash with Sunderland at Fratton Park.

Jackett will have almost a fully fit squad to choose from for a game between two Sky Bet League One promotion rivals.

Bryn Morris remains sidelined with a stomach problem and has yet to feature this season.

However, Jackett is optimistic Morris will be able to return before the end of the season, while Jack Whatmough is pushing for a recall in defence having overcome a serious knee injury.

Phil Parkinson must decide whether to freshen his Sunderland side up following Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Tranmere.

Midfielder Josh Scowen came on for his debut in the closing minutes at Prenton Park having joined from QPR and could press for a start.

Kyle Lafferty may have to wait a little longer for his first Black Caps start after Charlie Wyke scored the winner in midweek.

Elliot Embleton (hamstring) is out after suffering a fresh injury setback last week.
