Portsmouth have confirmed that Manchester City have included a recall clause in the loan deal that took Gavin Bazunu to Fratton Park.
The shot stopper is at the League One team, where he has put in some outstanding displays.
He is now the number one keeper at Portsmouth, and has been playing for the Republic of Ireland as well.
Speaking to The News after a draw with Sheffield Wednesday, manager Danny Cowley said: "There is no recall, the clause is if Manchester City get into serious injury concerns with the goalkeepers.
"And they have a few in front of Gavin, not loads, but enough to suggest that won't happen.
"We would have to be very unlucky should that occur, but then again, not much has gone for us at the moment.
"Gavin has been incredible for us at every level in terms of improving the team, working towards the game idea and value for money."
