Ghaly in line for Rams debut

Tottenham`s Hossam Ghaly is in line to make his Derby debut against Wigan Athletic at Pride Park on Saturday after his loan move to the Rams was completed.

The formalities of Egypt midfielder Ghaly’s loan move until the end of the current season were completed on Friday morning ahead of the 12 noon Premier League registration deadline for the big game against manager Paul Jewell’s former club.

Ghaly received a work permit approval on Thursday afternoon and he hopes to be involved in the Rams Vital clash.

There is some red tape to clear before Laurent Robert can make his debut for the club. The Rams are still awaiting confirmation of international clearance for the Frenchman, who signed a short-term deal earlier this week.

Robert is already registered and can play against Wigan – but only if international clearance comes through before 5pm Friday.

Rams officials remain confident the Frenchman will be available for Saturday’s clash, which is heading for a 31,000 attendance, with tickets still on general sale.
