Derby County are hopeful that FA clearance will arrive in time for Swiss Goalkeeper Patrick Foletti (pictured on the left) to take part in tonights reserve team game away at Coventry City.
Foletti, who is 27 and currently playing for Luzern in the Swiss league.

Derby are desperate to sign a class keeper because of injuries to Mart Poom, who may be out for the rest of the season with hand problems. The Rams are further stretched in the goalkeeping department by a wrist injury to 19 year old Lee Grant. Grant has had to pull out of the England U19 team to play Germany because of the injury.


The other trialist the Rams are hoping to play is 34 year old midfield playerAndreas Buck. The German is currently at Bundersleague club Kaiserslautern. Andreas has only made 3 appearances for his club this season and they have all been as substitute.
