Derby County’s team news has been confirmed for today’s pre-season friendly against Sky Bet League Two side Salford City in Spain (11am kick-off UK time).
Paul Warne’s side will round off their week-long training camp in the southeast of Spain with the clash against one of last season’s beaten Play-Off Semi-Finalists in the fourth tier.
Midfield pair Louie Sibley and Korey Smith, as well as defender Callum Elder, are not risked having missed some training sessions during the week while forward Tom Barkhuizen, right-sider Joe Ward and striker Conor Washington are having treatment back at the Rams’ Moor Farm base.
The game will see recent signing Sonny Bradley make his first appearance in a Rams shirt at the heart of the defence while defender Kane Wilson, who signed from Bristol City earlier this week, is expected to feature off the bench at some stage.
Youngsters Max Bardell and Darren Robinson are handed starts after impressing over the course of pre-season so far.
The game is taking place at the Pinatar Arena in Murcia, which is around 20 minutes from Derby’s training camp in Alicante.
