Portsmouth goalkeeper David James could be back in action to face Owen Coyle's Burnley side.
James has been back in training after a calf injury and Portsmouth manager Avram Grant will give him the maximum amount of time to prove his fitness.
Also back in full training this week have been left back Steve Finnan and midfielder Papa Bouba Diop. Both are in with a chance of being selected for the Portsmouth squad, though neither are likely to start.
Misfiring strikers Frederic Piquionne and Arune Dindane will be given another chance to impress, with Tommy Smith and Kanu staying on the bench.
Fellow striker David Nugent, who is on loan at Burnley, is ineligible to play against his parent club.
Burnley boss Owen Coyle will make changes in the absence of suspended skipper Steven Caldwell. Andrey Bikey looks set to drop back into the heart of the defence, with Kevin McDonald starting in midfield.
The in-form Steven Fletcher will start upfront, alongside veteran Robbie Blake.
