Portsmouth defeated Burton Albion 2-0 on Tuesday night to stay in 2nd place in the League One table. Bishop opened the scoring from the penalty spot, but was forced off with an ankle injury at half-time. A goal from Alex Robertson put Pompey 2-0 up, and that was how things ended.
Now, the Pompey boss has admitted he’s concerned that Bishop, who has scored 11 goals this season, could be facing a spell out of action.
“It doesn’t look brilliant, his ankle has swollen up. I think we’ve been really, really unlucky with it, there’s nothing we can do about it. It wasn’t a bad challenge, the pitch is fine, Colby is very resilient. We’ll now have to see how that pans out over the next couple of days.”
The manager detailed that the player is on crutches and a protective boot. His progress will be monitored in the coming days.
“The boot and crutches are precautionary, but that’s not to say there’s not an injury there, he is definitely injured. As a precaution, you want to make sure you take as much weight off that ankle as possible – and we will review it over the next couple of days.”
