Portsmouth vs Doncaster Rovers - Portsmouth set to be unchanged against Doncaster



Posted Friday, September 30, 2016 by PA

Portsmouth have no fresh injuries heading into their Sky Bet League Two clash with Doncaster and could name an unchanged team for a third time in succession.

Ben Close (hamstring) and Noel Hunt (groin) are back in training but the Fratton Park showdown has come too soon in their recovery.

A quiet Pompey treatment room sees Drew Talbot (hamstring) as the only injury player at the club.

Striker Curtis Main is available again after recovering from a facial injury that required 20 stitches.

Doncaster's teenage defender Niall Mason is hoping to return to the squad following a nine-match absence.

Mason, 19, on loan from Aston Villa, has been sidelined with a groin injury that has restricted him to three appearances since his arrival in the summer.

Craig Alcock, yet to feature this season due to an ankle problem, is also closing in on his return but Saturday is expected to come too soon, while fellow defender Mathieu Baudry is pushing for his first start for the club after recovering from his Achilles injury.

Boss Darren Ferguson has no major new injury concerns but Gary McSheffrey (groin), Paul Keegan, Luke McCullough, Aaron Taylor-Sinclair (all knee) and Mitchell Lund (kidney) all remain sidelined.
