Mousinho managing Lang's first-team return

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho says "there is always going to be a risk" when it comes to playing Callum Lang as he returns from a second hamstring injury.

The 27-year-old forward is back available for selection against Millwall this Saturday (15:00 GMT) along with goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid and forward Adrian Segecic.

Lang has not played for Pompey since 16 August having undergone surgery and missed two months of last season, also with a hamstring problem.

"Whenever he steps on a football pitch, there's always going to be a risk," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"Whether it's for half an hour here, half an hour there, whether it's for the full 90 minutes."

Pompey are winless in their last six games and will be hoping players returning from injury can provide the quality to improve their form and keep them out of the relegation zone which they currently sit four points above.

"At some point we just have to pull the plaster off and actually put him into action," Mousinho added.

"Whether that's off the bench, whether that's from the start.

"Straight away that exposure means every single player that goes out there is at risk of an injury and Millwall are a really good example of a side that have had a huge amount of injuries at the minute and are struggling from that point of view and there's plenty of other sides in the league.

"With Lang we just have to take the medical advice and do as best we can."
