Stoor out of Boro clash

Fredrik Stoor will miss Derby's trip to Middlesbrough after becoming the latest player to join the injury list. The Swedish defender, on loan from Fulham, was helped off 14 minutes from the end of the goalless draw with Midlands rivals Leicester after sustaining an ankle injury. Paul Connolly, his replacement at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday, will return to the starting line-up at right-back. Lee Hendrie is also a doubt. The midfielder replaced Lee Croft after an hour at Leicester but was substituted himself soon afterwards because of a tight hamstring. Boss Nigel Clough, whose list of absentees is already into double figures, said: "It was precautionary to take him off because we could not risk him doing more damage. If the hamstring had gone he would be out four to six weeks and we couldn't afford that."
