JUST IN: John Mousinho spoke about the return of highly-rated Portsmouth striker September 25, 2024 by Tsetim Theophilus Portsmouth are looking forward to the potential return of highly-rated striker Mark O’Mahony as they prepare to face Sheffield United this Saturday at Fratton Park. Currently on a season-long loan from Brighton, the Republic of Ireland under-21 player has had limited game time since joining Pompey, with just one appearance so far. The 19-year-old forward netted his first senior goal for Brighton during a decisive Carabao Cup win against Crawley Town at the end of August. After his loan move to Portsmouth, he came on as a substitute in a match against Sunderland, but subsequently picked up a foot injury while on international duty. Fortunately, according to The News in Portsmouth, his injury is less severe than initially thought after he returned to Brighton for evaluation. O’Mahony was back to running over the weekend and is expected to participate in full training this week, putting him in contention for the squad against Sheffield United. Portsmouth, currently sitting second-bottom without a win after six games, have struggled in front of goal, scoring only seven times, three of which came in a thrilling opening-day draw with Leeds United. Earlier this season, manager John Mousinho spoke about O’Mahony’s potential, stating, “Mark has excelled in PL2, which is fantastic, but transitioning to the Championship is a significant step. We believe he has what it takes.” He praised O’Mahony for his goal-scoring ability and contributions at various youth levels and emphasized his physical presence and skill set that could enhance Portsmouth’s attacking options, especially in the absence of Colby. Mousinho noted, “He’s a good size, holds the ball well, is physically dominant, and has a great instinct for scoring goals while linking play effectively.” GET MORE NEWS HERE
