Clough contends with injuries ahead of meeting with Derby

Burton boss Nigel Clough has an injury-hit squad as he prepares for the visit of his former club Derby.

Clough was already without Damien McCrory (hamstring) and Kyle McFadzean (illness) before the game against Hull on Tuesday night and then lost Lloyd Dyer (hamstring), Tom Naylor (thigh) and John Brayford (sickness) before half-time in the 5-0 home defeat.

Tom Flanagan (knee), Jacob Davenport (calf and groin) and Marvin Sordell are also nursing niggles following that game.

Striker Darren Bent will be unavailable on Saturday under the terms of his loan deal from Derby.

Burton could be relegated this weekend if they lose and other results go against them, while Derby need to get their play-off challenge back on track after defeat to Wolves in midweek.

Rams boss Gary Rowett, also facing his former club, named an unchanged team for the third successive game at Molineux but might be tempted to tweak things after the 2-0 loss.

Captain Richard Keogh is an option having been on the bench recently while midfielder George Thorne will hope to get back into the match day squad.

Bradley Johnson (ankle), Ikechi Anya (calf), Marcus Olsson (back/knee) have been out injured but Rowett will make a check on the trio’s fitness.
