Portsmouth keeper David James has been struggling with a calf injury

Portsmouth keeper David James is facing a battle to be fit for the FA Cup final on 17 May against Cardiff City.

After 166 consecutive league appearances, the England keeper was missing from the 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers with a calf injury.

"I think all calf injuries are quite serious," said boss Harry Redknapp.

"The scan revealed a slight tear but if he'd trained it could have been worse. I think he'll be ok for the Fulham game in two weeks."
