Rooney Names Side For Barnsley Clash

Manager Wayne Rooney has made five changes from the side which faced Coventry City on Saturday for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship encounter with in-form Barnsley (7pm kick off).

The Rams travel to Oakwell without first choice goalkeeper David Marshall who continues to miss out through injury, whilst Nathan Byrne also picked up a knock in training which has ruled him out of tonight’s clash.

That has signalled a return to the starting XI for Rangers loanee George Edmundson and on-loan Manchester United defender Teden Mengi, whilst Craig Forsyth is also handed a start. Kelle Roos continues in goal.

Kamil Jozwiak and Lee Gregory also return to the starting line-up as Lee Buchanan, Max Bird, Martyn Waghorn and Patrick Roberts all move to the substitute’s bench.

There is also a place on the substitute’s bench for Under-23s winger Tyree Wilson who has impressed recently and scored in their 4-1 victory at Liverpool on Sunday.

Barnsley: Collins, Styles, Andersen, Brittain, Woodrow, Dike, Chaplin, Sibbick, Palmer, Mowatt (C), Helik.

Substitutes: Walton, Williams, Kane, Morris, Oduor, Sollbauer, Frieser, Adeboyejo, Moon.

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

Substitutes: Idem, Bird, Waghorn, Sibley, Roberts, Buchanan, Wilson, McDonald, Watson.
