Derby County duo Ebou Adams and Patrick Agyemang were both unused substitutes in their final fixtures of the international break.

Striker Agyemang did not play any minutes for Mauricio Pochettino’s side as the USMNT faced Australia, a game they won 2-1 thanks to a double from Coventry’s Haji Wright.

Adams was also given a break as Gambia ran riot against the Seychelles, winning 7-0 in their latest World Cup qualifier. Adama Sidibeh scored twice, as did Musa Barrow, while Abdoulie Manneh bagged a hat-trick.

Derby will hope they reap the benefits of Adams and Agyemang’s lack of action as they prepare for Saturday’s trip to face Oxford United, as Derby resume their Championship campaign.

Max Johnston was also an unused sub for both of Scotland’s games, while Ben Brereton Diaz only played once in Chile’s sole fixture of the break, a 2-1 win over Peru.

Derby will be looking to secure their second win of the season when they face former boss Gary Rowett’s side at the weekend.

The Us currently sit in the bottom three of the table and have won just once this season, although they are only two points behind Derby in the standings.
