Two ruled out and one doubt for Derby County against Oxford United
Derby County will hope to build on their first away point of the season tomorrow night when they tackle Oxford United.
The Rams head to face Des Buckingham's side after a 1-1 draw at Millwall as Jerry Yates bagged his first goal for the club since arriving on a season-long loan from Swansea.
Oxford, like Derby, have had a solid start to life in the second tier since promotion from League One and the Rams will be hoping to replicate their 3-2 victory over the Us last season.

Derby's injury problems are starting to clear with Callum Elder, Jake Rooney, Sonny Bradley, Tom Barkhuizen and Liam Thompson all back and fighting for a place in the squad. However there are still a couple of players who will miss the Championship clash tomorrow night. Here is the latest....
Ryan Nyambe
Head coach Paul Warne confirmed in his pre-match press conference today that Nyambe is due to undergo a scan today after coming off in the first half of the 1-1 draw at Millwall.
The former Wigan and Blackburn defender injured his knee during a challenge from George Saville, and Warne expects to know the severity of the problem in the coming days.
At the weekend, Warne said: "You've seen Ryan, week in, week out. He doesn't come off with a broken nail, does he? Defenders never come off and you have to beg them to come off if they are injured.
"I thought at the time it looked like he cleared the ball but got fouled and, amazingly, it was a corner. I think he's damaged his knee but the severity of it, I won't know until he has a scan.
"That will probably be on Monday, but hopefully, it's on the side of being less severe than more severe, obviously. But Kane went on, did really well and was a real threat. Apart from throwing two points away, potentially, that (Nyambe) is probably the low point. I don't think it's a contact injury. It's just that I've been around football for a long time, so Ryan isn't the sort of player who comes off with a bang. He just isn't that guy."
Tawanda Chirewa
The on-loan Wolves midfielder will miss the game tomorrow night because of a freak injury to his quad that looks set to keep him on the sidelines for the next four to eight weeks.
David Ozoh
The on-loan Crystal Palace midfielder has been training after recovering from the hamstring problem against Cardiff City but was not risked for the game at Millwall at the weekend. It remains to be seen whether he is available for tomorrow night. Warne may well feel that Hull City on Saturday might be more realistic given he will have further days of training behind him.
