Baros set for Pompey debut
29/01/2008 - 14:15:48

Czech Republic striker Milan Baros is set for his Portsmouth debut at Manchester United after signing on loan from Lyon.

Skipper Sol Campbell should return following a back injury to bolster the defence.

Baros looks certain to start after David Nugent flew to Germany for a hernia operation later this week, leaving Pompey with just one other available forward in Benjani Mwaruwari, who is troubled by a neck and shoulder injury, but is expected to play.

Sean Davis, who made his comeback as a substitute from a month-long absence with a foot injury last Saturday in the FA Cup win over Plymouth, is pressing for a starting role.

Noe Pamarot and Lauren could miss out.

Team (from): James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Davis, Diarra, Mendes, Kranjcar, Benjani, Baros, Pamarot, Lauren, Hughes, Aubey, Mvuemba, Songo’o, Begovic.
