Osman blow for Blues

Everton midfielder Leon Osman has been added to the list of injured players who will not be making the trip for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership match at Portsmouth.

Osman was substituted in the second half of their 2-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday after complaining of a tight hamstring and he will not be risked at Fratton Park. Mikel Arteta misses his second successive match with the ankle injury sustained in training while Phil Neville (knee) is rated as 50-50.
