Pompey have suffered yet another injury blow.
Already reeling from news that Paddy Lane wasn’t fit enough to travel with the Blues squad for today’s game at Peterborough, the Fratton faithful then witnessed Christian Saydee limp off during the first half of the Weston Homes Stadium fixture.
The forward, who was named in the Pompey starting line-up for a second successive game, pulled up with what looked like a hamstring injury in the 32nd minute. He was immediately replaced by Kusini Yengi, forcing John Mousinho to once again reshuffle his pack.
