Derby County’s Under-23s are back on the road in Premier League 2 - Division 1 on Monday evening when they head north to take on Blackburn Rovers.


The Under-23s will face Rovers at the Lancashire Football Association (7pm kick-off) and dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you will need to know ahead of the game.

Team News...

Goalkeeper Harrison Foulkes is having his fitness assessed after he picked up a hip problem in the early stages of the 0-0 draw against Leicester City at Moor Farm Training Ground last Sunday.

Defender Harrison Solomon (hamstring) and midfielder Connor Dixon (ankle) have

been out of action in recent weeks but are in line to return to action.


Defender Max Bardell (hamstring) is also sidelined for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.


Striker Jack Stretton is likely to feature once more after getting match minutes under his belt in the draw against Leicester following a brief spell out of action due to injury.

The Season So Far...

Derby's Under-23s have played 20 games so far this term in Premier League 2 - Division 1 and have registered four wins, three draws and 13 defeats.

Their last outing saw them claim a hard earned point against Leicester City at Moor Farm Training Ground last Sunday as the East Midlands clash ended in a 0-0 draw.


They are five points away from safety, after a strong run of form towards the end of 2021 to bring them into contention of getting out of the bottom two, but are yet to pick up a league win in 2022 to date.


Blackburn, meanwhile, are 12th in the Premier League 2 - Division 1 table and are directly outside the bottom two, so a win for the Rams would see them move to within two points of their opponents.

Derby were 6-0 winners when the sides met at Loughborough University Stadium back in November.


Striker Jack Stretton helped himself to a hat-trick in the game, while fellow frontman Luke Plange netted.

Defender Eiran Cashin also got his name on the scoresheet against ten-man Rovers, who had Harry Leonard sent off in the first half.
