Team News Confirmed For Fulham Clash

Derby County manager Phillip Cocu has made two enforced changes to his starting line-up for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against Fulham at Craven Cottage (7:45pm kick-off).

Midfielder Graeme Shinnie (hamstring) and forward Mason Bennett (ankle) both sustained injuries in the first-half of Saturday’s 1-0 home win over Preston North End.

Their places are taken by George Evans and Martyn Waghorn, who both came off the bench to play a part in the victory over the Lilywhites.

Evans produced a solid display in the middle of the park while Waghorn scored the only goal of the game just after the half-hour mark from close range.

Craig Forsyth, after playing his first-game in over a year at the weekend, keeps his place in central defence alongside skipper Curtis Davies.

Youngsters Max Bird and Morgan Whittaker are back in the squad on the bench while left-back Scott Malone makes a return to the matchday 18 after recovering from a knee injury which forced him to miss the last two matches.

Fulham: Rodak, Odoi, Mawson, Ream, Bryan, Decordova-Reid, Johansen, Cairney (C), Kamara, Cavaleiro, Mitrovic.

Substitutes: Bettinelli, Christie, McDonald, Onomah, O'Riley, Kebano, Knockaert.

Derby County: Roos, Forsyth, Bielik, Waghorn, Lawrence, Evans, Martin, Holmes, Lowe, Davies (C), Bogle.

Substitutes: Hamer, Dowell, Paterson, Marriott, Bird, Malone, Whittaker.
