Legzdins, O'Brien and Bailey on course to make their returns in Under 21 friendly today.

Derby County’s Adam Legzdins, Mark O’Brien and James Bailey could make their comebacks from injury today.

The Rams have an Under 21 friendly fixture pencilled in against Hull City at the Derby County Training Centre this afternoon (12pm kick-off) and the three players could play some part in the game against the Tigers.

Goalkeeper Legzdins and midfielder Bailey have been out of action since the start of the season with ankle and knee problems respectively, while centre-back O’Brien has been in the treatment room with a knee injury since February.

The final steps of their individual rehabilitation programmes is to return a match situation, after successfully returning to training last week.

Johnny Russell and Jeff Hendrick are also expected to feature against the Tigers to get more match fitness under their belts after making their own comebacks last Tuesday in the Under 21s’ 1-1 friendly draw against Burnley.

Make sure to head back to dcfc.co.uk later today for a full review of the game and reaction from the Rams’ coaching staff.
