Hereford born Josh Griffiths is expected to be in goal for Portsmouth in the FA Cup game at Edgar Street on Friday evening.
Griffiths is on loan at Portsmouth from West Brom.
‘When
you sign a player on loan, sometimes it’s in their contract, if it is
possible to get it into the contract at the time then you absolutely do," said Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley.
‘We were really lucky to get that with West Brom, Steve Bruce helped us at the time to allow us to get permission for Josh Griffiths to play."
Hereford keeper Cian Tyler is not as lucky as Griffiths. His parent club Coventry have said that Tyler can not play in the Cup.
