Eustace on Nyambe injury and nurturing club talent

Derby County right-back Ryan Nyambe is awaiting the results of a scan to access his availability for the Rams trip to Swansea City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The 27-year-old Namibia international was sidelined for 18 league games with a torn ligament injury earlier in the season before missing Blackburn Rovers' visit in March with a hamstring issue.

"It's really unfortunate for Ryan," boss John Eustace told BBC Radio Derby.

"He's a dedicated professional, he does everything super correct but, unfortunately, he's just having a bad time of it at the moment."

Eustace also sung the praises of midfielder and Derby academy product Liam Thompson.

The 22-year-old is becoming a regular feature under his new boss, joining the starting line-up for all four of the Rams' successive league wins.

"Liam is one of our own and he's came through the system, and I think his performances up until now have been very, very good," Eustace added.

"It's one of the reasons I came to the football club.

"I've got a really good record of developing young players, and I want as many young players coming through the system so we can really build."
