Chris Baird sits out Derby clash with Fulham through suspension
Posted Friday, March 02, 2018 by PA
Derby will be without the suspended Chris Baird for their home clash with Championship promotion rivals Fulham.
The defender begins a three-match ban against his former club after he was sent off in the draw at Reading.
Rams boss Gary Rowett has confirmed that Andre Wisdom will replace Baird at right-back.
Leading scorer Matej Vydra was absent at the Madejski Stadium but he has trained this week and Rowett will make a decision on his fitness.
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic has a full strength squad to choose from.
The Cottagers inflicted a rare defeat on Wolves last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to 12 league games.
After defeating the Championship leaders, Jokanovic is unlikely to make many changes to his starting line-up and he may even pick the same team at Pride Park Stadium.
Denis Odoi, former Ram Cyrus Christie, Oliver Norwood and Lucas Piazon are among those who could come into Jokanovic’s thinking should he tweak things.
