Linvoy primed for return

Portsmouth defender Linvoy Primus is close to making a return to the first team, but hopes a recall will only occur for the right reasons.
The veteran centre-half has not made an appearance this season after undergoing knee surgery during the summer, but after making two recent reserve team outings, is closing in on a return to first-team contention.
However, Primus hopes he doesn't earn a recall due to the misfortune of others.
Last weekend Pompey were defeated 3-1 by Arsenal with all three goals coming after defensive lapses.
"I don't take any pleasure out of seeing my team-mates get results like the one at Arsenal," he told the club's official website.
"The defence tends to come under scrutiny at these times, but it is really the team that defends - not just the back four with the keeper.
"So hopefully things will change. The last thing I want is to get back into the team because of others player's performances. I really hope that doesn't happen.
"I want to get back through different circumstances, on my own merits, rather than the team not getting a result."
