Stone available again for Portsmouth

Steve Stone has given managerless Portsmouth a much-needed boost by re-joining the squad to meet Bolton at The Reebok. The former England winger has been out two months with an Achilles problem but returned to training last week.

Caretaker-boss Velimir Zajec has given little away but, with defender David Unsworth out suspended, he must decide whether to recall experienced goalkeeper Shaka Hislop following a hamstring injury or keep faith with Jamie Ashdown who made an impressive Premiership debut last week.

Kevin Harper and James Duffy have returned from loan spells with Leicester and Burnley and may figure but striker Lomana LuaLua is doubtful after a hip injury recurrence. Strikers Ayegbeni Yakubu and Dionmansy Kamara are still out with knee problems.

Probable squad: Hislop or Ashdown, Griffin, Primus, de Zeeuw, Stefanovic, Taylor, O’Neil, Faye, Quashie, Berger, Hughes, Mezague, Cisse, Fuller, LuaLua, Berkovic, Stone, Duffy, Harper, Wapenaaar (gk).
