Lualua doubtful for Pompey

Lomana Lualua faces a late fitness test on a shoulder injury but has been out of training all week with a flu virus and could miss Portsmouth’s match at Bolton.

New midfielder Zvonimir Vukic is already out for up to three weeks with an ankle injury while Linvoy Primus (knee) and Aliou Cisse (ankle) are other casualties.

Laurent Robert, however, is certain to return after being rested for Tusday’s ill-fated Carling Cup trip to Gillingham.

Provisional squad: Ashdown; Priske, O’Brien, Stefanovic, Vignal, O’Neil, Viafara, Hughes, Taylor, Diao, Robert, Lualua, Silva, Karadas, Todorov, Griffin, Skopelitis, Songo’o, Westerveld (gk).
