Oakley a doubt for Derby

Derby midfielder Matt Oakley is a doubt for the Barclays Premier League trip to Newcastle.

Oakley is struggling with a thigh strain. But County boss Paul Jewell hopes he will have recovered by Sunday to face the Magpies, who are the only side the Rams have beaten in the league this season.

A groin injury looks set to rule David Jones out of the clash, and long-term absentee Andy Todd (back) will again be missing.

Squad (from): Bywater, Mears, Davis, Moore, McEveley, Griffin, Edworthy, Leacock, Barnes, Oakley, Pearson, Lewis, Fagan, Howard, Miller, Teale, Earnshaw, Feilhaber, Jones, Price.
