Pair return for Pompey battle

Defender Dejan Stefanovic (ankle) and midfielder Richard Hughes (shoulder) both return to the Portsmouth squad for the relegation battle at Fulham.

Stefanovic and Hughes have recovered from ankle and shoulder problems respectively while full-back Gregory Vignal is fit again after illness.

Manager Harry Redknapp is likely to start with only Stefanovic who faces his first game since an operation on February 1.

The Pompey boss also has to choose between £4.4m (€6.3m) signing Benjani Mwaruwari and Svetoslav Todorov up front after two wins in a row – or play just one of them and field three central defenders.

Team from: Kiely, Primus, Priske, Stefanovic, O’Brien, Taylor, O’Neil, Mendes, Davis, D’Alessandro, LuaLua, Benjani, Todorov, Routledge, Pamarot, Vignal, Griffin, Koroman, Karadas, Ashdown (gk).
