Derby County face Ipswich Town tomorrow in one of the biggest fixtures in the Championship at Pride Park.
The Rams tackle Kieran McKenna’s side hoping to build on their stunning 5-0 win at Bristol City last Friday.
Derby go into tomorrow’s game sat in seventh in the table while Town are also in the top six, hoping to chase down Coventry and Middlesbrough at the summit.
John Eustace does have some injury problems to contend with for the visit of Town tomorrow.
However, he was boosted by top scorer Carlton Morris being able to enjoy some part of Thursday’s training session.
Here’s the latest on the injury front.

Carlton Morris
The striker was back on the grass for part of yesterday’s training session as he looks to make his full return from an ankle injury he sustained in the defeat to Watford back in November.
While he is making good progress, and Eustace called his return to training a massive boost, he’s not expected to be fully available until later this month.
Either way, Derby will be thrilled to have him back.
Max Johnston
The Scotland international suffered a hamstring injury in the win over QPR in October last year and was on the verge of making a full return in January.
However, a calf injury has set him back and he will not be available for another couple of weeks yet.
It’s been a frustrating time for the full-back.
Jacob Widell Zetterstrom
The Swedish international picked up a virus that ruled him out of the win against Charlton only for him to return a few days later for the home game against West Brom.
He was still feeling the effects of the illness in that game, but battled on but was absent again for the 5-0 win at Bristol City last Friday.
Eustace ruled him out of tomorrow’s game yesterday. It remains to be seen if he will be fit again to face Swansea at Pride Park next weekend.
Sondre Langas
The Norwegian suffered a hamstring problem in the game against West Brom and missed the win against Bristol City.
The centre-back is not expected to be back for a couple of weeks and will miss the game against Ipswich tomorrow.
