Jesse Derry

Analysis: Derry was expected to miss the rest of the season with the serious blow he picked up against Nottingham on May 4, but he's available for the final couple of fixtures. The youngster is unlikely to play a huge role, though the absences of Estevao (hamstring) and Jamie Gittens (hamstring) mean he could see some opportunities in place of either Pedro Neto or Cole Palmer on the wings.

Season over

Derry (concussion) will not feature again this season, according to coach Calum McFarlane. "Jesse won't be available for us now until the end of the season"

Analysis: Derry suffered the concussion in a clash of heads during stoppage time of Monday's match against Nottingham Forest, requiring him to be taken off on a stretcher and transferred to hospital. Manager Calum McFarlane's update confirms the severity of the situation, with the club ruling him out for the remainder of the campaign. The news is a significant disappointment for the attacker, who had made his first league appearance of the season in that very match before the incident occurred.
