Paul Cook to choose between Alex Bass and Paul Jones as Pompey play Notts County
Manager Paul Cook will choose between teenager Alex Bass or the recalled Paul Jones to start in goal when Portsmouth welcome Notts County in Sky Bet League Two on Friday.
First-choice keeper Ryan Fulton has been called up to the Scotland Under-21 squad and Brian Murphy is out with a calf injury.
New signing Conor Wilkinson will not be available for either of the Easter games after joining on loan from Bolton until the end of the season.
The striker is currently away on international duty with the Republic of Ireland's Under-21 side but will join training with Pompey next week.
Mark Cooper is to offer Stanley Aborah a fresh start at County, with the new Magpies boss confirming the midfielder will feature at Fratton Park.
The 28-year-old appeared to be on his way out of County after the club stated he had requested to leave on two occasions, but Cooper is set to hand the Ghanaian his first outing since January 2.
Blair Adams will miss Cooper's first game in charge after sustaining a foot injury in the 4-1 defeat at home to Exeter last weekend.
The only other absentee is winger Will Hayhurst, who has not played this season because of a cruciate knee ligament injury and is not expected to be fit again until the summer.
