Derby County v Sheffield Wednesday injury latest as duo out of Owls clash
Derby County will look to bounce back from their defeat to Swansea on Wednesday night when they tackle Sheffield Wednesday at Pride Park.
The Rams were beaten 2-1 by the Swans after a torrid 20 minutes gave them too much to do despite dominating the game for large spells afterwards.
Paul Warne will be eager for a response against Danny Rohl's Owls who beat Hull City in midweek, a game in which Derby's head coach attended.

Derby's injury situation has cleared up significantly in recent weeks and can virtually boast a clean bill of health with only two players being sidelined for the game on Sunday. Jerry Yates will also return after he could not play against Swansea as a condition of his loan move from the Championship side.
Here is the latest from the treatment table ahead of the clash against the Owls on Sunday.
David Ozoh
The on-loan Crystal Palace midfielder has been out of action since picking up an injury against Cardiff. Initially he had overcome the hamstring problem which saw him taken off in the second half, but in his final session before he was due to return, he damaged his quad muscle.
Ozoh has trained this week, but has yet to return to full sessions and has been ruled out of the clash against the Owls on Sunday.
Ryan Nyambe
Nyambe was ruled out for up to six months because of a knee injury he sustained against Millwall earlier in the season. The former Blackburn defender has damaged his posterior ligament and while he will not have to undergo an operation, he will be out of action until next year.
Confirming the blow, Warne said: "He's done his PCL (posterior ligament), and his recovery is four to six months. I don't think he will need surgery, so it doesn't affect the reoccurrence of injury.
"That is good, but obviously, it's heartbreaking. I love the kid. I know everybody loves their players, and the fans will know I do, but he is some kid.
"He just wants to play and wants to do well. The first thing he did was send me a text to say I feel like I've let you down. And I was like, what? It's a massive blow from a personal point of view, but from a player point of view, I think he's been excellent."
