Portsmouth will play the seventh round of the English Championship (second division) in the 2025-2026 season against Ipswich Town at Portman Road in Ipswich, England on the 27th (Korea time). Portsmouth, which is currently ranked 13th, is aiming to leap to the top.
Yang Min-hyuk is expected to play for the first time in a long time. Yang Min-hyuk made his debut as a substitute immediately after being loaned to Portsmouth. Three days after his debut, he was expected to secure many chances to play in Portsmouth. However, Yang Min-hyuk's last appearance so far is against Reading on August 13, his debut.
Since then, Yang Min-hyuk has only spent time on the bench for four consecutive games. Portsmouth manager John Musinho did not use Yang Min-hyuk as a replacement resource, even though Portsmouth's offense was at the bottom of the league. Concerns have begun to grow that a loan to Portsmouth might be the wrong choice.

However, Yang Min-hyuk injured his ankle just one day before the game. Coach Musinho said after the last Sheffield Wednesday match that `Yang Min-hyuk sprained his ankle during training, but it is not a major injury. I'll be back within this week. Yang Min-hyuk did not get many chances to play since coming here, but he showed good performance as a substitute against Oxford United. Reading, on the other hand, was disappointing for everyone, and he has not played sinceYang Min-hyuk's injury is not serious, he said.
Originally, coach Mussinho added that he planned to let Yang Min-hyuk play in the match against Sheffield if it wasn't for his injury. He said "Yang has been in good form in training in recent weeks. I was definitely going to include it before Sheffield Wednesday. But when I saw the physical therapy room on Saturday morning, Yang Min-hyuk was there,' Yang said, adding that he hurt his ankle ahead of the game.

England's The News, a local newspaper specializing in Portsmouth, also reported that Yang Min-hyuk, on loan from Tottenham, has not played for Portsmouth since starting against Reading in the Carabao Cup. However, the situation is expected to change this weekend away to Ipswich..."
Yang Min-hyuk must now prove that he is qualified to play as a starter when he has the opportunity to play.
