Waghorn and Holmes could miss play-off first leg
Posted Thursday, May 09, 2019 by PA
Derby pair Martyn Waghorn and Duane Holmes are both doubtful for the first leg of their side’s play-off semi-final against Leeds.
Forward Waghorn was forced out of last week’s home win against West Brom, which sealed the Rams’ play-off place, due to an Achilles injury.
Midfielder Holmes has been nursing a thigh strain in recent weeks and he was withdrawn later on in the same game.
Defender Richard Keogh is expected to play despite a minor groin strain, while boss Frank Lampard has no other new injury concerns.
Leeds will be without suspended striker Patrick Bamford, who completes a two-game ban after being found guilty of simulation in the recent home draw against Aston Villa.
Central defender Pontus Jansson faces a late fitness test due to an ankle injury and is doubtful.
Forward Tyler Roberts will play no part in the first leg because of a similar problem that has forced him to miss the last two matches.
Boss Marcelo Bielsa confirmed Stuart Dallas will play after overcoming a recent knee injury, but Ezgjan Alioski and Barry Douglas (both knee) remain long-term absentees.
