Rams without key midfielder for Forest cup clash

Miles Addison is being rested after a stiffening hamstring forced him out of the weekends game. A major blow for the Rams hopes of progressing in the FA Cup

Miles Addison is going to be rested for the FA Cup replay tomorrow night at the City Ground, Nottingham.

Addison came off in the 2-1 win at the weekend over Coventry as the hamstring tightened up. Nigel Clough has said he is not prepared to risk Addison in the Cup clash because he would be out for around six weeks if the hamstring went.

Derby will not be able to play their new striker Chris Porter at the game either as he had not taken part in the first leg. He will however be available for the next round clash with Manchester United should the Rams progress.

Forest are confident that tommorrows match will go ahead as planned despite several inches of snow on and around the ground. Forest do have undersoil heating so the pitch should be in good condition for the game...
