Three Derby County players could feature on the international stage this evening.


Alex Pearce is part of the Republic of Ireland senior squad that has flown out to Antalya to face Turkey in an international friendly, kick-off: 8:30pm (local time).

The 29-year-old will be hoping to earn his tenth Ireland cap in the meeting and his first June 2017.

Two of the Rams’ younger players will be hoping to star tonight too.

Alex Babos has once again been named in the Wales Under-21s squad and they have travelled out to Bosnia for a UEFA European Under-21 Championship Qualifier at the Bosnia & Herzegovina FA Training Centre, kick-off: 3pm (local time).

The midfielder received his first call-up to the Red Dragons’ squad in November, but was an unused substitute – meaning he will be aiming to make his debut this afternoon.

Louie Sibley will also be hoping to feature for England’s Under-17s when they take on Brazil in the first of a double-header in Spain.

Derby Under-18s midfielder Jason Knight featured for Republic of Ireland’s Under-17s earlier this week and played the full 90 minutes as they defeated Macedonia 3-0 in Poland thanks to three second half goals.
