Jason Shackell and Jeff Hendrick are both due to resume their batle for a starting place in the Rams team for Saturday's crunch game against Cardiff City.
Shackell suffered a groin problem against Nottingham Forest and had to leave the field whilst Hendrick came back early from International duties with the Republic of Ireland with a shoulder problem.
Hendrick was withdrawn from the Republics squad as a precaution and now along with Shackell is knocking on the door to secure their place in the starting line up.
