Midfielder - will he stay at Fratton or will he go?

Danny Hollands says the ball is in Pompey's court on the question of whether he stays.

The midfielder is due to return to training this week after an ankle injury that saw him depart early from the play-off clash at Plymouth. But he does not yet know if he will be part of Paul Cook's 2016-17 plans.

The arrival of Danny Rose would appear to have pushed Hollands down the midfield pecking order.

He told The News:: ‘I did a one-v-one session on Saturday with twisting and turning and by the end of the week I’m due to join in with training. As long as that is okay we will see where it goes.

‘The plan is to be back training on Thursday or Friday. Obviously, I want to get in as soon as possible. I remain on schedule and have also been involved in running for the last week or so to get my fitness up.

‘I am getting towards football, which is the encouraging thing. Then it is up to the club what happens next, we’ll see how it goes. I don’t know if it’s the situation where they are waiting on my fitness before deciding, I don’t want to comment about that.

‘However, I want to be here and it just depends whether they want me. I certainly cannot comment on what the manager wants to do. From my point of view, I want to be here to help the team get promotion. It is up to them.’
