Midfielder Jimmy Juan has become the latest Town player to be sidelined after picking up a facial injury in an accidental clash in training. The French loanee is considered a doubt for Wednesday's trip to Derby.

Boss Joe Royle told the club site: "Jimmy's had stitches in his lip after cutting his mouth, but we hope he will be OK for Wednesday and Derby."

Better news is that Owen Garvan could be back after his ankle injury, while Nicky Forster may be available having missed out at Brighton due to a knee problem.

Kevin Horlock will miss the game at Pride Park with the rib injury which has forced him out of Town's last two matches.

Royle said last week that academy midfielder Liam Craig would come into his plans for the trip to Derby and the home match with Plymouth.
