Dean Leacock could also come back into the reckoning after a bout of illness. However, the central defensive partnership being formed between Shaun Barker and Daniel Ayala in his absence is likely to see him start on the bench.
Full-back Gareth Roberts missed out against Sheffield United through illness but could return to the fold. On-loan goalkeeper Frank Fielding will make his second home debut for Derby after rejoining from Blackburn as Stephen Bywater (rib) and Saul Deeney (shoulder) remain sidelined.
Jake Buxton made his first appearance of the season as a late substitute at the weekend following groin, stomach and back problems and the defender could be included on the bench again.
