Manager Nigel Clough hopes to have David Templeton back in the squad for the Boxing Day home game.
“We will see how he is in training, but his shoulder isn’t as bad as we first feared. We might get him back on the bench.”
The news isn’t so good concerning Kyle McFadzean’s abdominal injury.
Clough said: “It’s a very unusual injury, freakish really and we have no timescale on it.”
