Mason Mount Returns For Rotherham United Clash

Midfielder Mason Mount will make his return to the starting line-up for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Rotherham United at Pride Park Stadium (3pm kick-off).

The 20-year-old picked up a hamstring injury in the FA Cup Fourth Round victory against Accrington Stanley at the end of January.

He has missed the last 10 games with a hamstring injury but returns to the team today in the only change from the game against Stoke City before the international break. Tom Huddlestone drops to the substitutes bench.

That means goalkeeper Kelle Roos retains his place in goal, whilst Scott Carson has recovered from illness but is named amongst the substitutes.

It’s another special landmark for defender Richard Keogh this afternoon as he makes his 300th league start for the Rams.

Here are the teams:

Derby County: Roos, Tomori, Keogh (C), Wilson, Mount, Waghorn, Lawrence, Johnson, Holmes, Bogle, Malone.

Substitutes: Carson, Wisdom, Bryson, Marriott, Bennett, Cole, Huddlestone.

Rotherham United: Rodak, Vyner, Ajayi, Wood (C), Taylor, Ihiekwe, Yates, Newell, Williams, Wiles, Jones.

Substitutes: Price, Forde, Palmer, Towell, Crooks, Kayode, Smith.
