Portsmouth are facing a race against time to get key players fit for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on 15 May.
Midfielder Richard Hughes was distraught as he hobbled out of Saturday's 3-1 victory over Wolves at Fratton Park with a hamstring injury.
The problem looks almost certain to rule him out of the trip to Wembley.
Striker Aruna Dindane (groin) and defensive midfielder Aaron Mokoena (calf) were also replaced at half-time against Wolves.
They join Tal Ben-Haim (groin), Marc Wilson (hamstring), Ricardo Rocha (thigh), Angelos Basinas (hamstring), Jamie O'Hara (back), Hassan Yebda (thigh) and Nadir Belhadj (hamstring) in a packed treatment room.
Scotland international Hughes, 30, was not selected for the 2008 FA Cup final squad, and now looks set to miss out on Wembley again.
"I am sorry for Richard, because in the last two months he has been very good for us," said Pompey boss Avram Grant.
"It is a shame. He always gives 100%."
O'Hara, 23, was ineligible to face his parent club Tottenham in the semi-final, but is in line to be fit for the final.
The midfielder was at Fratton Park on Saturday to collect what was a clean sweep of Pompey's player-of-the-season awards.
