Portsmouth boss John Mousinho reveals defender Conor Shaughnessy will be fit to return for Saturday's Championship match at Blackburn Rovers.
Portsmouth will have defender Conor Shaughnessy available for Saturday's Championship match at fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers (12:30 GMT).
The 29-year-old has only featured in nine league games this season after sustaining hamstring injuries on two separate occasions, but Portsmouth manager John Mousinho will be able to select him for the trip to Ewood Park.
"He's fine and will be available on Saturday," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.
"When we lost Conor at the start of January it was a big blow for us because at the time we didn't have a lot of cover."
Shaughnessy's absence left Pompey short of central defensive options, necessitating full-back Connor Ogilvie filling in.
"We went into the Southampton game with only one fit centre-half and Connor Ogilvie had only played there once at that point," Mousinho added.
"How well the back four have done since then has softened the blow."
Portsmouth are currently 19th in the Championship table, five points clear of the relegation zone, while their opponents, Blackburn are one place and one point below them.
