Derby striker Fabrizio Ravanelli is expected back at Lilleshall this week for further treatment on an Achilles problem.

The Italian has been ruled out of the Rams' last six matches, with his last appearance coming against Grimsby where he spurned a host of goalscoring chances.

Manager John Gregory has little idea of when to expect Ravanelli back.

He said: "There is no sign of Ravanelli returning to action."
