"He aggravated it when he put the cross in in the lead up to the goal.”

Portsmouth have been dealt an injury blow of their own - with striker Omar Bogle tipped to miss the remainder of the campaign.

The Cardiff City loanee was absent from Kenny Jackett's squad as they beat Coventry City 2-1 yesterday, and the Pompey boss admits he may not feature during the run-in.

That means former Black Cats forward James Vaughan could be called upon to the lead the line in the crunch promotion clash at the Stadium of Light.

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson believes Sunderland should have been reduced to NINE men after two 'horrendous' challenges.

Ferguson was left seething at the decision not to dismiss Bryan Oviedo after he escaped a second yellow for another foul on Marcus Maddison.

Instead, Coggins booked Maddison for diving, while later cautioning Luke O'Nien after a heavy challenge on Ivan Toney - one which Ferguson deemed as a straight red.
