The Pompey boss said: 'It was a contact injury, first with their goalkeeper then he got another bang on it.
'It was progressively getting worse then felt it was too bad to carry on.
'We hope it clears up quickly, with obviously Brett Pitman out.
'We're hopeful he's back for this weekend, it doesn't seem too bad.'
