Portsmouth boss John Mousinho has confirmed winger Josh Murphy will miss the rest of the Championship season with his broken foot.
Murphy has been out since he was injured against Derby on 20 December, missing the past 13 games.
The 31-year-old had a scan on the fractured metatarsal in his right foot and Mousinho said it had not healed as quickly as they had hoped.
“Josh is out for the
Portsmouth manager John Mousinho says winger Josh Murphy is likely to be available for the visit of QPR on Friday (15:00 GMT kick-off) and has also praised Callum Lang’s form since returning to the side.
Murphy was forced off with an injury just eight minutes into the second half during the 1-1 draw at Derby on Saturday, with Lang having scored the opening goal at Pride Park.
“Josh hasn’t flagged
I don’t believe Tottenham’s current identity is set in stone because we saw how Brentford evolved under him over a number of seasons and he is only just getting started here.
When they first came into the Premier League, Brentford had a very direct style and were also quite obvious or predictable in what they did.
If you watched them last season, though, it was a totally different approach. They
Portsmouth boss John Mousinho has confirmed that winger Josh Murphy is not set to return until the side host Stoke later this month.
The 30-year-old has been on the sidelines with an ankle issue for the past four games and Mousinho says he will not rush him back.
“We are still monitoring Murphy’s situation,” Mousinho, whose side host Stoke on 25 October after games at Leicester and at home to
There are a few things that are not right about Liverpool, and I keep seeing them give the ball away, but I don’t see this as an unresolvable situation.

New contracts don’t come more deserved than this one. Murphy had two years remaining on his existing deal and potentially a third via a club option, the fact this move has been made shows just how key he is to Pompey. Something only underlined when he’s missed matches this season.
Murphy is one of the best players in the Championship and Pompey’s key man. Defenders just cannot deal with him
Promoted Charlton are to install former Barnsley and Nottingham Forest chief executive Dane Murphy in the same role at The Valley.
The 39-year-old American worked at Oakwell when Barnsley reached the Championship play-offs in 2021 before moving to Forest, who were promoted to the top flight a year later.
A former midfielder with DC United and New York Cosmos, Murphy also turned out for Osnabruck in Germany’s second tier and
Bryan Mbeumo (captain), Brentford, £8.2m – Wolves (a)
Mbeumo has six returns in his past five games and would have hauled more if not for a rare penalty miss last week.
He takes on a Wolves side who have conceded seven goals in the previous three games.
At this point, Mbeumo might be the most obvious FPL pick. He’s been involved in 43% of his side’s goals, so feels about
Murphy has not played for England at any level since the 2017 European Under-21 Championship.
He reportedly turned down a chance to change his international allegiance to Nigeria, where his biological father is from, earlier this year.
And he is hoping for a first senior call-up this summer by Thomas Tuchel. He was given encourgament by Magpies team-mate Dan Burn, at the age of 32, making his England debut under
It is quite odd for a player to have a breakthrough season aged 30, but that is exactly what is happening with Murphy, who did not start more than 17 matches until this campaign.
Boyhood Toon fan Murphy joined the club from Norwich in 2017.
For seven years he was on the fringes of the Newcastle squad, and had been loaned out to West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday.
