Posted August 28, 201311 yr Derby midfielder Jeff Hendrick has been forced to pull out of the Republic of Ireland squad for the vital World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Austria. Hendrick sustained an ankle injury in Derby's win over Yeovil on Saturday. A scan has not diagnosed the full extent of Hendrick's injury and he plans to see a specialist on Friday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23870696 Sounds serious, and obviously means he's out of Saturdays game.

Although it's obviously a blow it does mean there is one less centre midfielder to crowbar into the starting eleven
August 28, 201311 yr Its been a bad week for him. He was robbed on Monday night too according to a journalist here in Ireland.
August 28, 201311 yr Real shame for Jeff, played really well these past couple of games. Will be interesting to see if Clough changes the shape on Saturday now, maybe Wardy on the left and Coutts on the right, Hughes and Bryson in the middle?
August 28, 201311 yr Or maybe Ward-Bryson-Eustace-Hughes-Coutts Although I doubt he would drop Russell. May rest Ward if he is playing internationals though.
August 28, 201311 yr With no Hendrick I would play the 4312 again as its starting to get consistent attacking results. Martin Russell Ward Hughes Coutts Bryson
August 28, 201311 yr Feel we need the option of a bit of width at home to break sides content to sit and pack the middle. I'd play coutts as he gives an option wide right if we need to play 4-4-2
August 28, 201311 yr Hope he's not rushed back however trivial the inury is. Our squad can cope now with injuries (to a certain extent, cb notwithstanding!). Jeff will be pivotal to our season but needs to be fully fit.
