Injury update as Millwall man hobbles out of Stadium of Light after Portsmouth's defeat at Sunderland

The Pompey defender limped out of the Stadium of Light, after Saturday’s disappointing 1-0 reverse for his side.

Romeo picked up the impact issue after a forceful first-half tackle on Black Cats wing-back Dennis Cirkin.

The 26-year-old was moving with difficulty after the game, but was adamant he won’t be adding his name to an injury list which saw Ryan Tunnicliffe join Jayden Reid and Liam Vincent this week.

Romeo said: ‘It was a little bump, a little work hazard.

‘It’s nothing major - nothing that’s going to keep me out. I’ll be back and ready for the next game, no problem.’

Saturday’s defeat saw Pompey drop to 10th in the League One table - and the gap to the play-offs extended to eight points

The goal blank was the team’s fourth in the past six league outings - with just the single success arriving in that time.
