John Obi Mikel is still a doubt for Stoke City's Championship trip to Derby County, according to manager Michael O'Neill.
The Nigeria international is yet to recover from a calf injury he picked up since the Potters' goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday on November 28.
Having played 14 matches in the English second-tier in this campaign, Mikel missed his third straight game on Wednesday as Stoke City suffered a 2-1 loss to Cardiff City.
