Rams to monitor Leacock

11 April 2011 17:00
Derby will assess Dean Leacock ahead of the visit of Leeds. The centre-half made his first start for 13 matches against Coventry on Saturday as a makeshift right-back but was forced off with a painful bout of cramp midway through the second half. With left-back Gareth Roberts still nursing a knee injury, manager Nigel Clough could be forced into another defensive reshuffle should Leacock not make it. Theo Robinson staked a claim for a recall with an encouraging performance from the bench at the weekend after replacing Alberto Bueno, who looked tired against the Sky Blues. Defenders Russell Anderson and Miles Addison and midfielder Stephen Pearson are options for Clough, who believes victory will be enough to secure his side`s Championship survival.
