Rams to monitor Roberts

07 March 2011 12:30
Derby travel to Middlesbrough without any new injury problems. The Rams halted a run of five successive home defeats with a goalless draw against Barnsley. Gareth Roberts played through the pain barrier on Saturday. The left-back was rated at 50/50 to face the Tykes due to a shin injury that had ruled him out of the previous two matches but managed the full 90 minutes. Manager Nigel Clough must decide whether to risk Roberts again or bring in someone else. Fellow defenders Dean Leacock (illness) and Russell Anderson (hamstring and calf) remain sidelined along with midfielder James Bailey (groin). However, Anderson has been given the all-clear to resume training. The versatile Miles Addison, midfielder Ben Davies and forwards Alberto Bueno and Steven Davies could come into the side should Clough wish to make changes.
