Here is a selection of pictures from training, courtesy of RamsTV.

Manager Phillip Cocu is seen in the first picture and Duane Holmes is in the second picture.

It is good to see Holmes back running as the attacking midfielder missed the Rams' last five games with a lower-leg injury that he suffered in the 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town on February 15.

The injury ended a run of 21 starts in the League.

The third picture shows goalkeeper Kelle Roos in action while in the fourth picture, Holmes and striker Martyn Waghorn take part in a running session.
