Kranjcar injury blow for Pompey

Niko Kranjcar in action
Kranjcar is an integral part of Tony Adam's squad

Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar looks set for a lengthy absence after tearing a groin muscle.

The Croatia international, 24, missed the beginning of the season following an ankle operation and has made only 10 starts this season.

"It looks a bad one and we'll miss him for what I believe will be quite a while," said Pompey boss Tony Adams.

Kranjcar joined Portsmouth from Hajduk Split for £3.5m in 2006 and has scored seven times in 50 league starts.
