Mendes missing for Pompey

Pedro Mendes (ankle) is the only absentee from Portsmouth’s squad for the Barclays Premiership clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Manager Harry Redknapp must decide whether to recall midfielder Sean Davis following a one-match ban to face his former club.

Lauren (thigh) and Noe Pamarot (back) are fit again but Svetoslav Todorov, who only reported back from Euro 2008 duty with Bulgaria today is unlikely to be considered. Benjani Mwaruwari and Lomana LuaLua may have to settle for substitute roles.

Team (from): James, Johnson, Primus, Campbell, Stefanovic, O’Neil, Davis, Kranjcar, Hughes, Taylor, Kanu, Lauren, Mwaruwari, LuaLua, Traore, Pamarot, Mvuemba, O’Brien, Ashdown.
