Portsmouth CEO Mark Catlin has revealed his fears surrounding the upcoming fixture schedule the club has ahead of them.
Pompey have 14 league fixtures, an FA Cup clash with Arsenal and a Leasing.com Trophy final with Salford City to fulfill within the next 10 weeks - and that comes without progression in the FA Cup.
It has been revealed that their home game against Bristol Rovers on 4th April is to be rescheduled due to their encounter with Salford on 5th April.
Speaking to Portsmouth.co.uk, Catlin said: "The games are really backing up now.
The League One club will also be fearing the international break that is due to take place from March 22nd-31st with the likes of Ronan Curtis, Craig MacGillivray, Marcus Harness, Ross McCrorie and Ryan Williams all being involved within their individual international setups.
The south coast club only have three blank midweeks between now and the end of the season with one being the same week as the Leasing.com Trophy final.
Portsmouth have already played 44 games this season and are ensured now to hit the 60-game mark by the end of the campaign.
The Verdict
Catlin will be working tirelessly across the next few weeks to ensure that the club can solve their looming fixture headache.
It is just about manageable for now but if they see any more progression in the FA Cup, then things will really start to become tricky for the club.
The potential call-ups that their players could receive for the international break is also likely to give manager Kenny Jackett a headache as it may impact upon the squad he has available to him.
