Jim Magilton has been included in the Town squad for the trip to Portsmouth on Saturday. The Northern Irishman has been out of training all week due to a groin injury.

Missing are Mark Venus (knee), John McGreal (knee) and Justin Miller (ankle) while Alun Armstrong, Finidi George and Martijn Reuser are all working on the fitness and are also not included.

Marcus Bent is again likely to start from the bench with Richard Naylor and Pablo Couñago likely to form the front two after goals last week against Watford.

Squad: Ambrose, D Bent, M Bent, Clapham, Couñago, Gaardsøe, Holland, Hreidarsson, Magilton, Makin, Marshall, Miller, Naylor, Pullen, Richards, Wilnis and Wright.
