Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy appears to have no fresh selection concerns ahead of the visit of Derby in the Sky Bet Championship.
Bluebirds midfielder Joe Ralls returned from an ankle injury during Saturday’s draw at Middlesbrough, while Junior Hoilett was an unused substitute at the Riverside Stadium having missed four matches with a calf problem.
On-loan Arsenal defender Jordi Osei-Tutu has not played since October and remains unavailable.
Forward Lee Tomlin, who has also been absent for four months, was not selected for Cardiff’s under-23 side on Monday, meaning he may be involved against the Rams or has suffered a setback in his recovery from a groin problem.
