The Sky Bet League 2 fixture between AFC Wimbledon and Portsmouth has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.The lunchtime kick-off, which was due to be shown live on Sky Sports 1, has been called off as Storm Katie continues to batter southern England.Wimbledons Twitter account revealed that a pitch inspection had been set for 9.15am on Monday morning after heavy rain overnight, but the game at Kingsmeadow has now been postponed. A tweet from the club said: Game off. Our match versus Portsmouth has been postponed.Both sides are chasing a play-off place in League 2. Referee Andy Madley told Sky Sports News HQ he had to take the players safety into consideration when making his decision to postpone the game.As you can see there is plenty of standing water all over the field of play and the water unfortunately isnt draining when we tried to put a fork into the pitch, he said.You look at the rest of the field and it doesnt look too bad until you actually get on top of it and kick a football around and, apart from the fact that the game would turn farcical, Ive got to take the players safety into account and unfortunately it is not worth the risk this morning.Weve obviously got fans travelling up from Portsmouth, the club have gone to all the effort to get the game on and that all comes into account but ultimately we do have to take players safety into account and it is just not worth that risk today.The groundsman at Kingsmeadow tried to ensure the game went ahead but the threat of further rain meant postponement was inevitable, according to Madley.He initially thought if you could put a fork into the ground then the water would disappear, and on the grassy areas it was doing, but unfortunately it is a sand-based pitch, he said.And whenever he was putting the pitchfork into the sandy areas the water was just coming straight back up so we knew that even as we played on it if we got any more rain, even if we managed to get rid of the surface water, it would eventually come back.Also See:AFC Wimbledon videoAFC Wimbledon fixturesAFC Wimbledon statsBet ￡5 Get ￡20 FreeAlonzo Mourning Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.

Id pretty much say with the time frame he probably will not play. Were looking at it.Wright said he was feeling good and probably overdid it.I think Ill be all right, and I think Ill be able to play in the opener [Sept. 11 against the Vikings], he said. Same thing, but it really doesnt feel as bad as it did.The Titans offense has played well in his absence as rookie receiver Tajae Sharpe has emerged as a prime target for quarterrback Marcus Mariota.ddddddddddddt wont take a lot for Wright to be ready and effective, he said.My main things is Ive got to get my timing with Marcus whenever I get back and whenever I am feeling good again, he said. Whenever practice is over, I will stay over extra and get some one-on-one with Marcus.One throw each route and I think Ill be good.The Titans have played Harry Douglas in the slot with Wright out, while second-year man Tre McBride also has? worked there. Wright was the Titans first-round pick in 2012 out of Baylor. He caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards and two touchdowns in his second year.He missed six games with knee and rib injuries last season and caught 36 passes for 408 yards and three touchdowns. ' ' '
