Osmajic ready to return - but only on bench?

North End boss Paul Heckingbottom hopes Milutin Osmajic will be involved at Derby this afternoon.

- 

The caveat is that the Pride Park clash may come too soon for the striker to start, but Osmajic has trained this week.

He injured his ribs in the Carabao Cup defeat to Wrexham and has missed the last two league games, away to Portsmouth and at home to Middlesbrough.

On the Montenegrin, Heckingbottom said: “He's back in training. He'd been touch and go but muscle injuries...he'd not done any training before the last game.
