Derby County will continue their pre-season games programme ahead of the start of the 2022/23 Sky Bet League One season when they host Premier League side Leicester City at Pride Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon (1pm kick-off).


Team News


Recent signing Korey Smith could make his first outing in a Derby shirt after spending a full week on the training ground after signing for the club as a free agent last weekend. The versatile 31-year-old, who can play at full-back and in midfield, was the Rams’ eleventh new recruit of the summer.


Defender James Chester and striker David McGoldrick were not involved in the midweek friendly at Stevenage as they continue to build up their fitness and they situations are continuing to be monitored.


Krystian Bielik has not featured in Derby's friendlies so far as a result of sitting out the start of pre-season training whilst recovering from a minor knee problem sustained whilst on international duty with Poland in June. The midfielder is gradually being eased back into training with no thought placed on rushing him back into action.
