Portsmouth near full complement for Ipswich replay

Portsmouth manager Paul Cook has a near fully-fit squad from which to choose when his team hosts Ipswich in their FA Cup third-round replay on Tuesday.

He is without Matt Clarke, who, having joined the club on loan from Ipswich, is ineligible.

Saturday's postponed trip to Accrington would have come too soon for Christian Burgess but he is again in contention.

Portsmouth's only long-term absentee is Danny Hollands, who broke his leg during the 2-2 draw with Ipswich.

Ipswich are expected to make a host of changes from their Championship draw at home to Preston on Saturday.

Mick McCarthy made seven changes for the original tie and, with promotion to the top-flight still a target, the Tractor Boys boss has said he will rotate again.

He has already confirmed Cole Skuse, Christophe Berra and Luke Chambers are unlikely to be risked after taking knocks.

Meanwhile, academy duo Joe Robinson and Kyle Hammond will travel to the south coast and will be hopeful of being involved.
