Rooney Makes Two Changes For Fulham Clash

Manager Wayne Rooney has made two changes to the side which beat AFC Bournemouth 3-2 at Pride Park Stadium for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Fulham (7:45pm kick off).

Full back Nathan Byrne has served his one-match suspension following his sending off against Millwall prior to the international break and has returned to the starting line-up.

Festy Ebosele is likely to move further forward, whilst Sam Baldock, who limped out in the first half of Sunday’s victory over the Cherries with a hamstring issue, is ruled out.

The only other change comes at left back as Craig Forsyth replaces the injured Lee Buchanan. The full back misses out after picking up a knee injury against Bournemouth.

Youngster Liam Thompson keeps his place in the side following his impressive display on Sunday, whilst Dylan Williams and Louie Sibley return to the substitutes' bench.

Fulham: Gazzaniga, Tete, Reed, Kebano, Wilson, Ream, Adarabioyo, Muniz, Seri, Carvalho, Robinson.

Substitutes: Las, Hector, Odoi, Knockaert, Reid, Bryan, Onomah.

Derby County: Roos, Byrne, Forsyth, Shinnie, Jagielka, Bird, Lawrence (C), Davies, Ebosele, Knight, Thompson.

Substitutes: Allsop, Jozwiak, Morrison, Kazim-Richards, Stearman, Sibley, Williams.
