Blackburn Rovers face a trio of fitness concerns ahead of their Championship trip to face Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Saturday. The club sits 16th in the table with eight points from seven games, looking to build on last week's 3-1 win over Millwall.
Yuri Ribeiro is the latest doubt after being withdrawn with a hamstring problem just 15 minutes into that victory. The severity of the issue is not yet known, leaving his availability for the weekend in question.
Augustus Kargbo has not featured since October last year due to thigh and hamstring injuries. Forward Franco Umeh, who tore his hamstring in pre-season, is not expected back until November. Manager Tony Mowbray will have to assess his options, with the club's full squad list showing several other players currently sidelined.
The match pits two mid-table sides against each other, with 18th-placed Portsmouth aiming to enter the international break with a win. Blackburn's last meeting with Pompey ended in a 1-1 draw in March.
