Adam Webster set for Portsmouth return

Adam Webster is expected to return for Portsmouth when they host Crawley in League Two, having served a one-match ban.

The defender's availability is particularly important given Christian Burgess remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

Manager Paul Cook is also without Paul Jones, who has had knee surgery.

Matt Tubbs' availability is also in doubt owing to an ankle injury.

Crawley manager Mark Yates will have to juggle the absence of Josh Yorwerth after he returned to parent club Ipswich at the end of his loan spell.

Sonny Bradley is expected to return to central defence, with Mitch Hancox moving to left-back.

Matt Harrold was only a substitute on Monday against Wycombe but he is expected to start.

Yates again remains without long-term absentees Lanre Oyebanjo and Joe McNerney, both because of knee injuries.
