Donohue in anxious wait on injury scan

DION DONOHUE faces a wait to find out the extent of his groin injury.

The Pompey midfielder was forced off in the first half of the reserve team’s 3-1 win over the Royal Navy at Burnaby Road yesterday.

And first-team coach Jake Wigley revealed the Welshman will undergo a scan in the coming days.

The early hope is Donohue, inset, will not face a prolonged spell on the sidelines.

The 25-year-old has had a frustrating campaign with injuries, which have restricted him to just 14 appearances all season.

Wigley said: ‘We’re hoping Dion is not too bad.

‘He felt his groin so we brought him off just before half-time.

‘He’ll have a scan and we’ll go from there but we’re hoping it’s not too bad.

‘It’s more precautionary than a full-on injury, so we’re hopeful.

‘We iced it straight away just to try to settle it down as much as possible.

‘But we’ll know more in the next few days once the physios have had a look at him.’

The news is more positive on defender Anton Walkes, though, after he came off at half-time in the clash.

Wigley says there is no concern with the former Spurs man.

He added: ‘Anton is definitely fine but we’ll know more on Dion in the next few days.

‘Anton felt his ankle a bit and there was no point in keeping him on to make it any worse.

‘He is fine and will be back training in the next day or two.’
