The £1.8m signing from Newcastle is Pompey's top scorer this season with two goals and his loss is another blow for boss Alain Perrin. Former Pompey team-mate Yakubu was twice laid low by malaria during his time at Fratton Park - before his £7m close-season move to Middlesbrough.
This is a blow for Pompey but the blow for Lua Lua is even bigger because this is a very serious disease and I just hoping we see back in action as soon as possible. Lua Lua has been in fine form this season for Pompey in a side that has struggled under Portsmouth's new manager Alain Perrin. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Lua Lua and himself right now.
