Portsmouth will check on Luke Varney and Joel Ward ahead of the trip to Leicester.
Striker Varney has missed the last two matches with a knee injury but has had an injection to speed up his recovery and is rated 50/50 by manager Michael Appleton.
Midfielder Ward limped out of the 1-0 Boxing Day defeat at Millwall with a dead leg and will also be handed a late fitness test, with Aaron Mokoena on standby to fill in.
Skipper Liam Lawrence came through unscathed in his second appearance following seven weeks out with an ankle injury and will keep his place in midfield.
On-loan West Brom full-back Joe Mattock returns to the club where he started his career.
