Portsmouth's hopes of reaching the FA Cup final have been rocked by
Hermann Hreidarsson and Danny Webber being ruled out for at least
six months.
Both players were injured in Saturday's 2-0 Premier League
loss at Tottenham, which is also Portsmouth's opponent in the FA
Cup semifinal scheduled for April 11.
Scans revealed that Hreidarsson, the 35-year-old Iceland
defender, ruptured an Achilles' tendon in his left leg and will
require surgery next week.
Webber, a 28-year-old striker, ruptured an anterior cruciate
ligament.
The cup offers Portsmouth a chance of salvaging something
from a bleak season, with relegation almost a certainty for the
bottom-placed club.
