‘So I’m not going to risk it with one day’s training and then straight into it tomorrow.
‘He’ll be training with the youth team on Tuesday morning, have a real good week, and then go up with us on Friday to Fleetwood.’
Cannon has made 21 appearances for Pompey this season, with his last game being the 2-0 win against Sunderland on February 1.
