Latest Derby County news from DerbyshireLive brings you how the Rams will line up against the Blades at Bramall Lane this afternoon

Derby County boss Paul Warne has confirmed that Crystal Palace loanee David Ozoh will be on the sidelines for the next five to six weeks. The midfielder left the field early in the second half of the Rams’ 1-0 victory over Cardiff City last weekend, and underwent a scan earlier in the week.

Sheffield United have been rocked by a huge injury blow on the eve of this afternoon’s clash with Derby County after skipper Ollie Arblaster was ruled out with an ankle injury. The midfielder misses out against the Rams and was seen entering Bramall Lane this afternoon with a protective boot on his right foot.

Derby County midfielder David Ozoh is set to miss the next six weeks with a hamstring problem after going for a scan this week. The on-loan Crystal Palace ace was forced off early in the second half of last week's win over Cardiff City having clutched the back of his leg when attempting a pass.

Despite the good feeling that has infected DE24 over the last six months following their nine-game winning run in the league at home, an injury to David Ozoh will cause worry for Paul Warne and his staff ahead of this weekend's trip to Sheffield United.
