Striker Rhian Brewster may play a role in Derby County’s game against Leicester City on Saturday (12:30 GMT), Rams boss John Eustace has confirmed.
Brewster has missed Derby’s past three Championship games with a hamstring issue but is set to return to training on Friday, with Eustace not ruling him out of the Foxes’ visit.

“Rhian will join back in the group, hopefully, on Friday so we will have to see if he will be available on the weekend,” Eustace told BBC Radio Derby.
“He’s made great progress over the past couple of weeks so hopefully he’ll be ready to go sooner rather than later.”
Defender Danny Batth will be available after missing the defeat at Middlesbrough with a knock but midfielder Lewis Travis (calf) is not yet ready to return.
Also missing will be midfielder David Ozoh, who is “three or four weeks away” nursing a thigh problem.
