Republic of Ireland international Ronan Curtis set for Portsmouth return against Ispwich

Portsmouth will have Ronan Curtis available again following suspension for the Sky Bet League One match against Ipswich.

Republic of Ireland winger Curtis missed the 4-1 defeat at Rotherham on Saturday as he served a one-game ban for accumulating five cautions.

Defender Connor Ogilvie, a summer signing from Gillingham, returned from a quad injury for a first appearance since early September and could be involved again.

Forward Ellis Harrison (ankle) and defender Paul Downing (hamstring) both continue their recovery.

Former Portsmouth manager Paul Cook will face one of his old clubs aiming to produce a response after throwing away a two-goal lead in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Cambridge.

Sone Aluko could keep his place in attack after scoring twice in the first half, while playmaker Bersant Celina should start, having come off the bench for the closing stages following his return from international duty with Kosovo.

Midfielder Lee Evans missed the match as his wife was being induced, while forward Joe Pigott was on compassionate leave following the death of his father, so it remains to be seen if either will be involved.

Goalkeeper Christian Walton (adductor), left-back Hayden Coulson (thigh) and midfielder Tom Carroll (hip) all continue to be assessed.
