Portsmouth expecting new signing before Saturday

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho says the club could add a new signing before the game against Bristol City on Saturday (15:00 BST) as he expects more movement in his squad before the close of the transfer window.

The club have brought in nine signings so far this summer, with eight players departing.

With more new players expected to arrive, the head coach is prepared to see others make an exit.

"There's always going to be the possibility that other clubs come in and see the good work the players have been doing and I think that's a compliment to the players," Mousinho said.

"We will be ready to be proactive off that. We still need to free up a bit of squad space so we are not done yet with the ins or the outs.

"Maybe one [will come in] before the weekend but no-one who is going to affect the squad."

Defender Regan Poole should be available for the side's trip to Ashton Gate after missing out on the game against Lincoln City with an injury, while winger Harvey Blair has returned to training and is expected to be in the squad.

Fellow winger Josh Murphy, however, is likely to miss out until further notice with his groin injury.
