Dindane returns for Pompey FA Cup bid

Portsmouth will have Aruna Dindane available for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley before the Ivory Coast striker triggers an appearance clause in his loan agreement from Lens.

However, defender Anthony Vanden Borre is suspended and midfielder Jamie O’Hara is ineligible under the terms of his loan from parent club Spurs.

England goalkeeper David James has recovered from a calf problem, while Hassan Yebda (knee), Kevin Prince Boateng (ankle), Nadir Belhadj (thigh), Papa Bouba Diop (knee) and Tommy Smith (broken nose) are all pushing to be in contention at Wembley.

Hermann Hreidarsson (Achilles) and Danny Webber (knee) are both long-term absentees.

Team (from): James, Mullins, Rocha, Mokoena, Finnan, Dindane, Brown, Boateng, Basinas, Belhadj, Piquionne, Ashdown, Utaka, Hughes, Sowah, Kanu, Ward, Ritchie, Nlundulu, O’Brien, Yebda, Diop, Smith.
