Colby Bishop has been left off of Pompey’s announced 25-man roster while he recovers from heart surgery.

Furthermore, after being left out of the starting lineup, Tom Lowery and Ben Stevenson will not participate in the first half of the Blues’ Championship comeback.

Details about the senior lineups of the players that the EFL has available until the new year were released this afternoon.

After the transfer window closed, Pompey had to register their team. They had spent a busy summer signing fifteen new players.

With the addition of five additional eligible under-21 players to the 25-man group supplement, the selection is much as anticipated.

It’s official: Pompey’s highest scorer from the previous two seasons won’t be involved with the team until at least 2025.

Although it makes sense that the team is reluctant to give a timeline for Bishop’s return, today’s announcement gives supporters some idea of how long the Magic Man’s layoff will last.

Lowery and Stevenson, who were unable to complete their moves out of Fratton Park prior to the summer window closing, will also not be playing.

Even if their contracts are settled, it is likely that both individuals will stay at PO4 for the time being because they won’t be eligible to play for any EFL team until 2025.

Mousinho has selected three goalkeepers from the 25 players, including 19-year-old Toby Steward, who is on loan with Tonbridge Angels, Will Norris, Nicolas Schmid, and Jordan Archer.

Nine defenders, four central midfielders, five attackers, and four strikers make up the remaining 25 players.

As contractual under-21 players, Steward is joined by Harry Blair, Terry Devlin, Abdoulaye Kamara, and Reuben Swann.

The 25-man Pompey team:

GK: Jordan Archer, Nicolas Schmid, Will Norris.

Jordan Williams, Zak Swanson, Conor Shaughnessy, Ryley Towler, Jacob Farrell, Ibane Bowat, and Ryley Towler are the defenders.

Freddie Potts, Owen Moxon, Andre Dozzell, and Marlon Pack in the middle.

Attending: Paddy Lane, Sammy Silvera, Josh Murphy, Callum Lang, and Matt Ritchie

St: Kusini Yengi, Elias Sorensen Saydee Christian, Mark O’Mahony.

Harvey Blair, Terry Devlin, Abdoulaye Kamara, Toby Steward, and Reuben Swann are the under-21 players under contract.
