Clough keeps fingers crossed over pair

Manager Nigel Clough is hopeful strikers Alberto Bueno and Luke Moore will be fit for Derby`s televised Championship clash against Portsmouth. Bueno was forced off with an ankle injury 36 minutes into the 4-1 home victory against Watford on Saturday while Moore missed the game after sustaining a hamstring problem in training. "Alberto took a knock on his ankle at Millwall and did not train all week before the Watford game," said Clough. "He was never 100% but he said he would give it a go, which is a wonderful attitude. "He got another kick on it after about 15 or 20 minutes and we felt he could not get around as he usually does. We hope he will be okay for Portsmouth at the weekend. "Hopefully, Luke is not too bad and he will also be available for the weekend."
