Derby County’s team news has been confirmed for today’s pre-season friendly against Macclesfield Town at Moss Rose (3pm kick-off).
As expected, manager Gary Rowett will shuffle his pack in each half – with only youngster Jamie Hanson set to feature in both halves.
Defender Richard Keogh and striker Matej Vydra are sidelined with knocks – joining George Thorne, Jason Shackell and Max Lowe in missing out - but wideman Ikechi Anya is back after an illness and is set to feature in the second half.
Rowett has also included a handful of Derby’s Under-23s players on the substitutes bench - Calum Macdonald, Kellan Gordon, Offrande Zanzala and Farrend Rawson - should they be needed.
Derby County First Half XI: Mitchell; Wisdom, Hanson, Davies, Forsyth; Bryson, Butterfield; Russell, Nugent, Blackman; Bent
Derby County Second Half XI: Carson; Baird, Hanson, Pearce, Olsson; Johnson, Elsnik; Bennett, Weimann, Anya; Martin
Substitutes: Roos, Macdonald, Rawson, Gordon, Zanzala
