Derby midfielder Duane Holmes ruled out of Fulham clash

Derby have lost midfielder Duane Holmes to injury for the visit of Fulham.

Holmes limped off during the first half of the 1-1 draw against Huddersfield last weekend with a leg injury and faces a few weeks on the sidelines.

Tom Huddlestone is still out with a calf injury but Andre Wisdom should be available after hamstring trouble.

George Evans will continue his recovery from a calf problem with the Rams’ under-23s.

Promotion-chasing Fulham are looking to bounce back from the shock 3-0 home defeat by Barnsley.

Alfie Mawson (knee), Terence Kongolo (foot) and Maxime Le Marchand (back) remain on the sidelines.

Harrison Reed could also miss out again with a calf problem.

Striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has shown no ill-effects from his recent ankle injury having scored three goals in his last four matches.
