Savage blow for Rams

Derby captain Robbie Savage is suspended for the visit of Doncaster. The veteran midfielder received his fifth yellow card of the season in the home defeat to Reading and must serve a one-match ban. James Bailey could come back into the team in his absence. It is hoped Dean Leacock will be fit after a groin injury forced him off at half-time against the Royals. However, fellow defenders Russell Anderson (hamstring) and Gareth Roberts (calf) remain out. Forward Steve Davies (knee) and centre-halves Miles Addison (foot) and Jake Buxton (groin) have resumed training following spells out injured. Davies and Addison could be on the bench at some point over the Christmas period.
