He said: “All I know is that he would play in a game today [Tuesday], whether that is a permanent recall or just for this week. I’m sure we’ll learn more later in the week.

“Nobody from Portsmouth Football Club has been in contact with me, and we’ll wait and see how it develops.”

Smith scored for Pompey against the Rocks in pre-season this summer. Pompey went onto win that game 5-1, with Adam May scoring a hattrick.
