Young Reserve Side To Face Chelsea
Posted on September 30th, 2008 by Pompey
With the first team about to jet off to Portugal for their UEFA Cup first round, second leg tie with Vitoria, Paul Groves has named a young reserve side to face Chelsea at Westleigh Park tonight, kick-off 7pm.
Goalkeeper Jon Stewart makes his first appearance since joining the Blues on transfer deadline day at the beginning of the month.
The rest of the side is made up of players from Ian Woan's academy team.
Carlo Cudicini and Scott Sinclair are the star names in an otherwise inexperienced Chelsea side.
Pompey lost their last reserve match against Arsenal a fortnight ago, after winning the opening match of the season against Fulham.
