Max Johnston and Lewis Travis are inching closer to a Derby County<\/a> return but David Ozoh’s<\/a> comeback is a little longer.<\/p>\n Johnston and Travis are recovering from hamstring and calf problems<\/a> respectively but the duo have been back on the grass.<\/p>\n They have yet to make a full return to training but it is anticipated they will be back this month ahead of the hectic Christmas schedule.<\/p>\n Ozoh’s return is still several weeks away with the on-loan Crystal Palace midfielder still nursing a thigh injury he picked up in the 2-1 win at Blackburn.<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking ahead of the game at Sheffield Wednesday on Monday, Eustace said: “Ozoh’s still, probably three or four weeks away.<\/p>\n “Travi is getting closer to joining back in the group and it might be a week or so.<\/p>\n “Max Johnston is close as well. He’s probably about one week to 10 days away as well.<\/p>\n “The sooner we get the squad back fit, the better, especially with a lot of games coming up.<\/p>\n “We’re looking forward to that.”<\/p>\n Carlton Morris is still on the sidelines with an ankle injury and is not expected to return until February, while Owen Beck has returned to Liverpool after undergoing surgery on a hamstring problem.<\/p>\n Who are you looking forward to seeing back?
