Glen Johnson won’t feature in Portsmouth’s FA Cup clash with Championship side Swansea next week.
Johnson who has only just returned from injury picked up his fifth domestic booking of the season during the FA Cup 3rd round replay clash against Bristol City on Tuesday and means he will now serve a one match ban.
However Johnson will be able to play in the Spurs Vs Portsmouth game at the weekend as the suspension does not come into effect until January 20th.
With Pompey looking a better side with Johnson playing most fans would rather see him in the Spurs clash, to hopefully put one over our former manager.
Defender Glen Johnson has today signed a new four and a half year contract with Portsmouth.
Originally coming on loan in 2006 he has committed himself until 2013
Manager Tony Adams told the club’s website: “I am delighted to have him here. I want him here for a long time.
“Glen has applied himself very well - he has been very good for this club and this club has been very good for him.”
Pompey mananger Tony Adams is confident that right back Glen Johnson is set to sign a contract extension before the end of the transfer window.
“The deal is 90 per cent completed,” said Adams (more…)
While Benitez is reported to want Portsmouth right back Glen Johnson, the Liverpool manager may have to let players leave Anfield before a deal can take place.
Benitez has made enquires as to the availablity of Johnson, however Portsmouth responded with an inflated asking price, which is following reports from Portsmouth’s board saying that any player is for sale if the price is right.
Livepool manager Rafa Benitez is looking to add a right back to his defensive ranks during the January transfer window with summer signing Phillip Degen yet to make a Premier League start and Alvaro Arbeloa looking unconvincing. (more…)
Glen Johnson has been ruled out of the start of the Pompey’s FA Cup campaign against Saturday’s visit of Championship side Bristol City.
Johnson continues to be troubled by an ankle injury, although he is back in training and is targetting a return for the clash against relegation battlers Manchester City on January 10th.
