RYAN Shotton is set to return to the Derby County squad for Tuesday night's Capital One Cup fourth round tie against Fulham - but striker Leon Best is a doubt.
Shotton missed Saturday's Championship fixture against Wigan Athletic due to illness but trained with the Rams on Monday.
However, Best is now feeling unwell and faces a late check on his fitness as to whether he will be involved at Craven Cottage.
The front man, on loan from Blackburn Rovers, started against Reading in the previous round of the competition.
As previously reported, midfielder Paul Coutts is due to be part of the squad following his return from a hip injury.
