Cork native Franco Umeh will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring tear he suffered during Portsmouth's loss to Arsenal in the FA Cup.

The former Ringmahon Rangers and Cork City star made his second appearance of the season for Pompey as a first half sub in their FA Cup third round loss to the Premier League leaders.
