Derby’s Marcus Olsson a doubt for play-off clash with Fulham
Posted Thursday, May 10, 2018 by PA
Derby defender Marcus Olsson is an injury concern ahead of the Championship play-off semi-final first leg with Fulham.
The full-back limped off against Barnsley on Sunday with a knee problem and the club are awaiting the results of a scan to determine the extent of the damage.
Regardless of whether Olsson is fit, Rams boss Gay Rowett faces a decision about whether to play a back four or have three central defenders with wing-backs.
Matej Vydra, the Championship’s leading scorer this season with 21 goals, is expected to come back into the starting line-up.
Fulham have a full-strength squad available for the tie.
Matt Targett, who had to come off at half-time against Birmingham due to illness, is fit to play.
On-loan Sheyi Ojo will return to the squad after missing the last few games with an unspecified knock, while Floyd Ayite will be hoping for a start after a recent hamstring injury.
Fulham are favourites going into the play-offs but will be aiming for their first semi-final win at the seventh time of asking.
