The on-loan Sheffield Wednesday striker looks to have earned himself a start for Derby County at Leeds.
Derby County are clicking into gear under Gary Rowett, and will climb into the Championship’s top six if they win at Leeds United on Tuesday.
Saturday’s win at Norwich City was Derby’s third in a row, and extended their unbeaten run to six matches.
But at his pre-game press conference on Monday, Rowett hinted he could implement a slight freshen up at Elland Road, with another difficult-looking game to come against Reading on Saturday.
Lucky for the Derby boss, he has a wealth of options to choose from, with strikers Chris Martin and Sam Winnall – on loan from Sheffield Wednesday – especially, making an impact from the bench at Norwich.
Their timing could hardly have been better, with fellow attacking players Johnny Russell and Matej Vydra currently afflicted by niggles.
However, with David Nugent – who was courted by Leeds in January, according to the Northern Echo – a man in form, the green light could shine for only one of those.
