Joe Walsh injury blow for Lincoln
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.
