Night of tension for Rams boss

Jay McEverely

Rams boss Billy Davies will be sitting with everything crossed tonight as several of his squad are on International duty.

Injuries to any of the International Rams could mean a hasty re-shuffle in the squad to face Birmingham City at Pride Park this week end.

Rob Earnshaw and Lewis Price are in Bulgaria and will not be arriving back to Derby until Friday, leaving just a few short hours before the crunch match with Birmingham. Other players are expected to arrive back on Thursday, including new signing Benny Feilbhaber, who will be part of the USA squad to Play Sweden.

Stephen Pearson
Stephen Pearson may not play but will be watched closely by Billy Davies
Jay McEverley is to make his debut for Scotland in tonight's friendly against South Africa. He makes the starting line up while Rams colleagues Stephen Pearson and Gary Teale are likely to be just squad players.

So plenty of nail biting for Billy Davies and Rams fans in tonight's International game.
