Striker dilemma for Jewell

Derby boss Paul Jewell faces a striker dilemma ahead of tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League game at Bolton after selling Steve Howard to Leicester.

Robert Earnshaw (calf) is rated 50-50 after missing Sunday’s 2-1 home defeat to Blackburn, meaning he may only be able to choose between Kenny Miller, Craig Fagan and Jon Macken.

Defenders Dean Leacock and Michael Johnson both limped out of the weekend game and are doubtful.

Matt Oakley and Claude Davis returned from the sidelines to play 90 minutes on Sunday but Stephen Bywater and Stephen Pearson (both shoulder), Andy Griffin and Rob Earnshaw (both calf), Andy Todd (back) and David Jones (groin) remain out of contention.

Team (from): Price, Edworthy, McEveley, Leacock, Davis, Johnson, Barnes, Mears, Moore, Feilhaber, Holmes, Teale, Oakley, Lewis, Miller, Fagan, Macken, Earnshaw, Hinchliffe.
