Leacock ruled out

Derby defender Dean Leacock has been sent home from the team's hotel prior to the friendly against Bournemouth due to a sickness bug. Leacock will miss Wednesday night's clash at Dean Court but is expected to be fit in time for Saturday's friendly against Chesterfield. "It's nothing serious and we have sent Dean back to Derby as a precaution," manager Nigel Clough told the Rams' official website. "We don't want the bug spreading across the camp so we quickly made the decision for him to head back home."
