Derby County vs Blackpool preview - Duo in Rams frame
Posted Monday, April 13, 2015 by PA
Derby will have Ryan Shotton and Cyrus Christie back in contention for the visit of relegated Blackpool.
Shotton has missed the last two matches due to concussion while fellow defender Christie was absent against Brentford on Saturday because of tonsilitis.
Leading scorer Chris Martin will continue to have his comeback monitored having only recently returned to action after seven weeks out with a hamstring injury.
Midfielder Will Hughes will serve the second game of his two-match suspension as the Rams look to strengthen their grip on a play-off place.
Defender Darren O'Dea is Blackpool's latest injury worry after he came off in the defeat to Ipswich.
The Republic of Ireland international broke his nose in the first half of Saturday's loss and Seasiders boss Lee Clark conceded a decision on whether he plays or not will likely rest with the player himself.
Henry Cameron (ankle) made a surprise return despite barely training after six weeks out but, although he came off after 70 minutes having suffered cramp, Clark's options are so stretched he would like to utilise the youngster again.
Miles Addison (knee) has been pencilled in for a return for this fixture but Tom Aldred (hamstring), Joe Lewis (ankle), Mark Waddington (foot) and Grant Hall (ankle) are all still missing.
