Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp believes he will have David James, John Utaka and Hermann Hreidarsson fit in time for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against West Brom.

While goalkeeper James has had a bout of illness, winger Utaka and defender Hreidarsson have minor injuries.

"Jamo's had a bit of a sick bug but we're hoping that will clear up and he'll be okay," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

"Other than that, John Utaka's got a bit of a tight hamstring and we'll have to see how that is.

"Hermann's had stitches in his Achilles tendon because of a stud mark, but we're hoping they are going to be okay."

In-form striker Jermain Defoe will however, be reduced to being a spectator for the Wembley outing as he is cup-tied having featured for his old club Tottenham before moving to Fratton Park in the January transfer window.
