This is a bigger than Milan but I'll be dropped anyway, claims Kaboul
Younes Kaboul believes Portsmouth's clash with Bolton on Saturday is bigger than their UEFA Cup glamour-tie against AC Milan earlier this season - but the Frenchman knows he will be dropped by boss Paul Hart.
Kaboul, 22, struck with a stunning half-volley against Albion - his first goal since his bullet header put Pompey 2-0 ahead against the mighty Italians in November.
But last week he was only covering for England right-back Glen Johnson, who, along with fit-again midfielder Sean Davis, is available again for Paul Hart, Fratton Park's third manager of a turbulent season.
With Tony Adams in charge, Milan came back for a face-saving 2-2 draw. And bottom of the table Albion also recovered to force a similar result.
Kaboul, signed for £5million from Tottenham in the summer, admitted: 'No, I don't think I've done enough (to keep my place). Johnson and Davis are important for us and it is great for the team to have them back.
'The manager hasn't said anything yet but you need competition in a team for places and that's okay with me.
'It was great to score last week even though the result was a bit of a disappointment for us. And it was great to score against Milan but the next game we face is more important than that.
'We still need three more wins to be sure of staying up but the Premier League is always the priority. I'm confident we will do it.'
Boss Hart experienced the wrath of the Pompey crowd for the first time after the draw with Albion but retains firm belief in his methods, which have earned 10 points from his seven games in charge compared to two from the previous nine. He said: 'It's a massive boost to have Glen Johnson and Sean Davis back. If there is no reaction to Sean's knee injury they will both be back in but, as for positions, I'll sleep on it before
making decisions.'
