Rooney Makes Two Changes For Wycombe Clash

Derby County boss Wayne Rooney has made two changes to his starting XI from Saturday’s 2-1 win over Middlesbrough for tonight’s Sky Bet Championship fixture at Wycombe Wanderers (7:45pm kick-off).


On-loan Manchester United defender Teden Mengi, who linked up with the Rams earlier this month until the end of the campaign, comes into the side to make his first-ever career start, whilst Craig Forsyth is restored to the side for the first time since the 1-0 loss at Sheffield Wednesday on New Year's Day to make his 300th start in club football.

Nathan Byrne and Lee Buchanan revert to the bench, whilst Deadline Day signing George Edmundson is named as a substitute.

Centre-back Edmundson in the matchday squad for the first time since undergoing a hernia operation at his parent club Rangers last month.

Derby defender Andre Wisdom is also hitting a significant career milestone tonight as he prepares to make his 200th senior start.

Wycombe Wanderers: Allsop, Grimmer, Stewart, Tafazolli, Wheeler, Ikpeazu, Knight, Horgan, McCleary, Mehmeti, Obita.

Substitutes: Anderson (GK), Gape, Kashket, Muskwe, Onyedinma, Samuel, McCarthy, Ofoborh, Adeniran.

Derby County: Marshall (C), Wisdom, Forsyth, Shinnie, Jozwiak, Waghorn, Kazim-Richards, Mengi, Clarke, Gregory, Knight.

Substitutes: Roos (GK), Edmundson, Bird, Byrne, Roberts, Buchanan, McDonald, Watson, Mitchell-Lawson.
