Pompey waiting on injured pair
Portsmouth are sweating over the fitness of David Nugent and Younes Kaboul ahead of Monday night's Premier League clash at Newcastle.Nugent failed to come out for the second half against Manchester United on Wednesday after a challenge by Nemanja Vidic while Kaboul missed the game following a knock in the win over Bolton five days earlier.However, both are expected to benefit from the few extra days rest and shake off their thigh injuries.Kaboul's return would enable Glen Johnson to revert to midfield at the expense of Jermaine PennantMidfielder Niko Kranjcar, however, is unlikely to feature although medical reports on his damaged ankle - also sustained against Bolton - suggest he will return before the end of the season.Kick-off on Tyneside is at 8pm on Monday.Pompey (from): James; Kaboul, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Johnson, Mullins, Davis, Hughes, Belhadj, Nugent, Crouch, Pennant, Kanu, Utaka, Cranie, Basinas, Pamarot, Gekas, Begovic.[LNB]
