Redknapp refuses to take risk with LuaLua

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has pledged not to gamble with striker Lomana LuaLua’s fitness in their must-win clash with Sunderland on Saturday, even though he has half his first team under treatment.

The 25-year-old is desperate to face the doomed Wearsiders after missing Pompey’s last two games through a self-inflicted foot injury.
