Joe Walsh injury blow for Lincoln

02 November 2020

Lincoln are without defender Joe Walsh for the home clash with Portsmouth.

Walsh faces up to 12 weeks on the sidelines with a knee problem which requires surgery. Defender Adam Jackson is back to full fitness following an ankle issue and is likely to deputise.

Skipper Liam Bridcutt misses out once again with a thigh injury. He is expected to be sidelined for around two more weeks.

Full-back Max Melbourne, who is also suffering from a thigh issue, is closing in on a return but forward Callum Morton remains unavailable with a shoulder problem.

Jack Whatmough will be missing for Pompey.

The defender is facing three weeks on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring problem during Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Charlton.

His injury creates an opening for Rasmus Nicolaisen, who joined the club on a season-long loan deal from Midtjylland in September.

Winger Michael Jacobs remains out with a knee injury and is not set to return for around five weeks.
