Anderson back in for Rams

29 April 2011 08:30
Russell Anderson will replace Shaun Barker at the heart of the Derby defence when Bristol City visit Pride Park. Barker has undergone surgery on the troublesome knee problem that has dogged him for much of the season and he will miss the Rams' remaining two Championship matches. Anderson will partner Daniel Ayala at centre-half, getting the nod over Miles Addison and Dean Leacock. Leacock will return to the squad after missing the Easter fixtures due to illness. Striker Chris Porter, who is out of contract this summer, returns to the squad after a hamstring injury and youngsters Callum Ball and Jeff Hendrick will be included again. The match will be Robbie Savage`s final home game for Derby as the veteran midfielder is set to retire at the end of the season.
