John Mousinho: "I'm frustrated at leaks"

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho says he feels "frustrated" with fans who leak team news on social media before the club makes their announcement.

"Who knows how much it affects the game?" Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"If you look at the mode that the team is getting out, it's via Portsmouth fans who you would assume would know that information is deliberately kept in house but feel the need to leak that online and spread it.

"We don't want to be a place that's shut off, we want to be open, we want everyone to feel part of the community and welcome.

"It's just a bit of a shame really, a really frustrating one from my perspective and hopefully, it doesn't happen too many times again."

Pompey face Hull City on Saturday (12:30 GMT) but the side will likely be without left-back Connor Ogilvie, who was substituted off in the midweek draw with Wrexham with a knee injury.

"We will send him for a scan tomorrow and we will have the results early next week," Mousinho added.

Striker Thomas Waddingham will be out for a further six to eight weeks with a quad issue but Callum Lang, Adrian Segecic and Nicolas Schmid are all expected to return against Millwall following the international break.
