Ibane Bowat has hit a significant milestone on his road to injury recovery.

But Pompey will resist the temptation to accelerate the defender’s return to solve their fitness woes.

Mousinho has confirmed the central defender is now continuing his recovery from his serious knee injury outside, with a full return slated for next season.

 

The 22-year-old’s progress, along with Pompey having a free space available in their 25-man squad submitted to the EFL, did raise the question of whether there was potential for the former Fulham man to make a comeback this season. That’s with a swathe of central defensive injuries in particular, with Conor Shaughnessy (hamstring), Rob Atkinson (calf), and Hayden Matthews (ankle) either missing or doubts.
