Eustace on injuries, form & international joy

Eustace on injuries, form & international joy

Derby County head coach John Eustace was back in front of the media on Thursday to talk about Watford's visit on Saturday.

The 46-year-old reflected on the five-game winning run that took them into the international break as the Championship's most in form side.

"It's over the course of 15 games that they got themselves into a good position," he told BBC Radio Derby.

"They have been working their socks off for the past four months and there is a hell of a lot of hard work to go."

He gave a number of injury updates, saying midfielder David Ozoh could be back from injury in three weeks, while Max Johnston is "back on the grass" and a few weeks away from a return while Lewis Travis is "improving" but has undergone more scans to get a clearer picture of when he is due back from a calf problem.

On-loan defender Owen Beck, however, will return to parent club Liverpool after suffering a hamstring injury.
