Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp will recall skipper Dejan Stefanovic, midfielder Gary O'Neil and forward Laurent Robert to his squad for the home clash with fellow strugglers Fulham after they missed the 4-0 midweek defeat at Arsenal.
Defenders Linvoy Primus (groin) and Salif Diao (hamstring) are still not fit to return, but Diao's injury could turn out a boost for Redknapp as the player has not been selected for Senegal's African Nations Cup squad next month.
Striker Vincent Pericard (thigh) is another who will miss out.
Fulham's injury crisis has taken a turn for the worse with Sylvain Legwinski (groin) and Dean Leacock (groin and ankle) the latest casualties.
They join Steed Malbranque (hamstring), Papa Bouba Diop (ankle), Moritz Volz (ribs) and Claus Jensen (groin) in the treatment room.
Goalkeeper Mark Crossley should be available for the game despite his ongoing hamstring problems while Alain Goma could be back after missing out against Villa with a leg injury.
