Mousinho spinning plates as tough games approach
BBC Radio Solent's Andrew Moon looks at Portsmouth's injury crisis ahead of a tough selection of games following the international break.
Championship side Portsmouth sits in a tough spot as they prepare for a grueling stretch of games. Manager John Mousinho has been juggling a high number of substitutions and injuries thus far. With only a few players having played more than 90 minutes in a match, the team is feeling the pressure. New signings Marko Milovanovic and Jayden Meghoma still require time to build their fitness levels, while injuries have plagued others like Abu Kamara, Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, and Luke Brooke-Smith.
The absence of key players such as Ryan Kavuma-McQueen (hand injury) and Marlon Pack has hampered the team's performance. The upcoming South Coast derby marks the beginning of a tough run of matches, with eight in 28 days. Mousinho believes a three-week break will not be beneficial for the team's recovery, and the challenge of sustaining full 90-minute performances will be significant.
