Rams Line-Ups Confirmed At Kidderminster

Due to heavy traffic congestion in the surrounding area, the kick-off time of tonight's pre-season friendly match has been delayed by 15 minutes.

The game will now kick-off at 8pm - rather than the originally scheduled 7:45pm.

Team News

As expected, Gary Rowett has named a different starting XI for each half of this evening’ pre-season friendly clash with Kidderminster Harriers, kick-off: 8pm.

The 43-year-old Derby County boss confirmed that would be his intention in an interview with RamsTV last week.

The only first team players to miss out on tonight’s fixture at Aggborough Stadium – the Rams’ first pre-season outing ahead of the 2017/18 Sky Bet Championship campaign – are George Thorne (hamstring), Jason Shackell (back), Ikechi Anya (ill) and Max Lowe, who has only just returned to training.

New signings Curtis Davies and Andre Wisdom will both feature in the second half against the Reds tonight.

Rowett has also included five of Derby’s Under-23s players on the substitutes bench should they be needed.

Henrich Ravas, Timi Max Elsnik, Max Bird, Kellan Gordon and Offrande Zanzala have all made the journey to Aggborough Stadium tonight.

Derby County First Half XI: Carson, Baird, Olsson, Keogh (C), Forsyth, Bryson, Johnson, Bennett, Nugent, Weimann, Martin

Derby County Second Half XI: Mitchell, Wisdom, Pearce, Davies, Macdonald, Butterfield, Hanson, Blackman, Russell, Vydra, Bent

Substitutes: Ravas, Elsnik, Bird, Gordon, Zanzala
