The difficult games don’t end there, with unbeaten Sheffield United up next at Fratton Park.
John Mousinho has also dealt with injury issues, but the Portsmouth manager could be given a lift ahead of this weekend’s game against the Blades.
According to The News, loan striker Mark O’Mahony could make his homecoming on Saturday afternoon. The Irish prodigy has missed the previous two Pompey squads after bruising a bone in his foot while on international duty, but he will return to training today (Tuesday).
As a result, O’Mahony could be available to Portsmouth manager Mousinho as the club seeks its first victory.
The season starts here.
O’Mahony has already made his Pompey debut, coming off the bench in a defeat to Sunderland just a few days after joining on loan from Brighton.O’Mahony’s season has been hampered by an injury sustained while playing for the Republic of Ireland U21s, but with a return to training, the season begins for the Portsmouth striker.
After impressing in youth football and putting in some encouraging performances for Brighton’s first team, the 19-year-old will be eager to regain form in the Championship and claim the striker slot in Mousinho’s starting lineup.
Striker woes O’Mahony isn’t the only striker Portsmouth has been missing early on.
Colby Bishop, who is recovering from heart surgery, is notably absent. Due to injuries, Kusini Yengi has only made two appearances.
Mousinho has put Christian Saydee up front, and Elias Sorensen, a natural left winger, is another option at the top of the pitch.
