Portsmouth manager Tony Adams will be without Sean Davis for tomorrow’s FA Cup replay against Bristol City after the midfielder missed training with a stomach virus.
Adams must also cope without long-term absentees Papa Bouba Diop and Richard Hughes and will turn to youngsters Arnold Mvuemba and Marc Wilson to provide cover.
Peter Crouch will start as the lone striker, however Kanu could feature in a withdrawn role behind the England international.
Provisional squad: James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Belhadj, Mvuemba, Wilson, Kranjcar, Kanu, Nugent, Crouch, Begovic, Kaboul, Pamarot, Primus, Cranie, Hreidarsson, A Traore, Little, Utaka.
