Derby County vs Bolton Wanderers preview - Buxton boost for Rams

Jake Buxton will be fit for Derby when Bolton visit the iPro Stadium.

Buxton was forced off with an ankle injury shortly before half-time in last weekend's win at Cardiff but he has now recovered and is expected to partner Richard Keogh in the centre of the Rams' defence.

New signings Tom Ince and Jesse Lingard are likely to be included in the squad following their loan moves from Hull and Manchester United respectively.

Spanish defender Raul Albentosa will come back into contention after missing the trip to south Wales with a slight hamstring strain, while long-term absentee George Thorne is edging closer to a first-team return as he steps up his recovery from a serious knee injury.

Bolton boss Neil Lennon will welcome back Adam Le Fondre for the trip.

The striker was ineligible for Wednesday night's 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Liverpool but is in Lennon's plans along with midfielder Barry Bannan.

Filip Twardzik and Simeon Slavchev also return but winger Saidy Janko is out until next week at the earliest with an ankle problem.

Forwards Craig Davies and Emile Heskey are close to resuming training whilst the ankle injury suffered by goalkeeper Adam Bogdan is not as bad as first feared.
