Pompey pair back

Steve Stone and Andy Griffin return from hamstring injuries for Portsmouth at home to Aston Villa in the Barclays Premiership tomorrow, but a chest infection may delay the recall of Lomana LuaLua after a four-match suspension.

Defender Linvoy Primus has also been struggling with a virus, while captain Arjan de Zeeuw still has a shin injury but is expected to play. Midfielder Gary O’Neil (groin) is a more serious doubt after missing the midweek England Under-21s game.

Team from: Chalkias, Griffin, Primus, Stefanovic, de Zeeuw, Taylor, Stone, Cisse, Skopelitis, Berger, Hughes, LuaLua, Mezague, Kamara, Yakubu, Fuller, Rodic, Ashdown.
