Boss excited to revive
KENNY JACKETT is looking forward to reviving John Marquis’ partnership with Marcus Harness.
The attacking duo have not played alongside one another since former Burton winger Harness picked up a thigh injury in the 1-1 draw at Blackpool on August 31.
Prior to that, both summer arrivals featured in six Blues games together, impressing Jackett as they struck up a good rapport on the pitch.
Four of those early-season outings saw the pair combine to score five goals and record two assists. At Blackpool, Marquis set up his teammate, who proceeded to curl the ball past Tangerines keeper Jak Alnwick from just inside the box.
Both found themselves on the scoresheet when Pompey recorded a 2-0 win at QPR in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Marquis netted in the 3-3 draw against Coventry, while the striker was on hand to set up Harness for his goal in the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland.
Former Doncaster Rovers front man Marquis has failed to register for Pompey since
