Rooney Makes One Enforced Change For Rotherham United Clash

Derby County manager Wayne Rooney has made one change to the side which secured a third successive victory on Saturday against Bristol City for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Rotherham United (7pm kick-off).

And it’s an enforced change, too, as Krystian Bielik, who was carried off on a stretcher on Saturday during the 1-0 victory against the Robins, has been replaced by Martyn Waghorn in the starting XI.

The forward last started in the reverse fixture between the two sides in January, twice coming off the bench since.

Due to yesterday’s postponement due to a waterlogged pitch, it has allowed Derby's deadline day signings to be registered in time to play for this evening’s rearranged fixture.

Lee Gregory, Patrick Roberts and Beni Baningime are all named amongst the substitutes this evening, alongside Teden Mengi who was registered for 12pm on Monday which would have allowed him to feature yesterday.

Striker Colin Kazim-Richards will be aiming to make it three goals in three games this evening as he continues to lead the line, whilst Max Bird will be hoping to build on his impressive performance on Saturday.

Here are the teams in full:

Rotherham United: Johansson, Wood (C), Wiles, Robertson, Lindsay, Harding, Ihiekwe, Olosunde, Smith, Crooks, Barlaser.

Substitutes: Vickers, S.MacDonald, Wing, Hirst, Ladapo, Clarke, A.MacDonald, Giles, Cooper.

Derby County: Marshall (C), Wisdom, Shinnie, Jozwiak, Bird, Waghorn, Byrne, Kazim-Richards, Clarke, Buchanan, Knight.

Substitutes: Roos, Forsyth, Mengi, Sibley, McDonald, Watson, Mitchell-Lawson, Thompson, Brown.
