JAMIE Ward will have a scan this afternoon to determine the extent of the hamstring injury he suffered playing for Northern Ireland at the weekend.
The Derby County forward was replaced after 66 minutes of Ireland's victory in Hungary.
Derby are hoping the problem is not too serious and the player will be available to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday.
"We are hoping it is more of a nerve issue with the hamstring than a strain," said first-team coach Paul Simpson.
"He is having a scan this afternoon and we will know more after that.
"If it is just a nerve issue there is a possibility he could be fit for the weekend but until we get the results we cannot make any assumptions on whether or not he will be fit for the Forest game."
