O'Brien out of Pompey run-in
Andy O'Brien will miss the rest of Portsmouth's battle for survival due to injury.
Andy O'Brien will miss the rest of Portsmouth's battle for survival due to injury.
He has been forced out of Pompey's final three games after picking up an injury prior to Monday's 2-1 defeat at Charlton Athletic.
The centre half hurt his back and hamstring in the warm-up as he prepared to come into the team in place of Dejan Stefanovic.
But Noe Pamarot then had to take over from O'Brien, who was unable to play any part at The Valley.
The problem is serious enough to prevent the Republic of Ireland international playing again this season and Pompey boss Harry Redknapp cursed the injury.
"This is a big blow," admitted Redknapp.
"We need all our players available as our last three games are like cup finals."
