Paul Heckingbottom, the manager of Preston, has provided an injury report prior to their Saturday matchup with Portsmouth.
Pompey is preparing for Saturday’s crucial relegation matchup against Preston North End at Fratton Park. Let’s see what Lilywhites manager Paul Heckingbottom had to say before the match. This game might have major ramifications at the conclusion of the season.
Ahead of the weekend, the former head coach of Sheffield United updated the media on injuries. Liam Lindsay, who reportedly suffered a groin injury during Preston’s 0-0 draw with Sunderland last night, is among the first team players who will not play against Pompey.
He won’t be the only one missing out. Will Keane, Robbie Brady, Patrick Bauer, and Ched Evans are all improving, but the Saturday match will be too soon for them; instead, they will play again following the forthcoming international break.
Heckingbottom stated in an interview with the Lancashire Evening Post prior to the match: “Yeah, Jack [Whatmough] came on and did great.” I’m not sure what Liam has done in the long run. He was aware of his groin.
We removed him as it was evident to everyone that he was having trouble moving. Jack continued. Yes, it wasn’t one we were going to fool with because we are fully aware of Jack’s abilities. Jack just joined us.
“After the interval, Milly is back. Keano will return. Robbie [Brady] is making good progress, but it’s clearly taking longer. No one will return earlier because Pat Bauer and Ched Evans have both participated in some training.
With 15 points, Preston currently sits in 20th place in the Championship standings after three wins, six draws, and five losses. With just nine points from 14 games, the Blues are still at the bottom of the division. At this stage of the season, Pompey has only won one league game.
