Derby County have been handed an injury boost after Joseph Anang returned to training ahead of the League One game vs Bolton Wanderers.

The Lowdown: Spell on the sidelines

The Rams secured an emphatic 4-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers last weekend and will be hoping to continue their positive run of form when they face Ian Evatt’s side on Tuesday evening.

The Ghanaian goalkeeper made the move to Pride Park on a season-long loan over the summer but is yet to feature after breaking his arm during his first week at the club, though a positive update on his fitness has now emerged.

The Latest: Anang in contention

According to DerbyshireLive, Anang is ‘back’ at Derby after ‘finally overcoming’ the injury that has kept him ruled out since the start of the season.

The 6 foot 2 shot-stopper is now ‘in training’ again and will hope that he can ‘be involved in the squad’ for the fixture at the University of Bolton Stadium next week.

The Verdict: Boost for Warne

Joe Wildsmith has been in strong form this term so Anang won’t immediately come in and take his place as the number one, but it’ll still be a huge boost for Paul Warne to have him available for selection for the first time.

St. Patrick’s Athletic’s former keeper made a real name for himself under Tim Clancy, keeping 12 clean sheets in just 30 games, which saw him hailed a ‘top level’ player by the boss himself.

Anang won’t have wanted to be out for such a long period of time when the aim of his move was to get minutes under his belt, but he’ll now have the chance to kickstart his loan and show the Rams manager what he’s capable of.
