Weimann Returns For Millwall Clash

Andreas Weimann returns to the Derby County starting line-up for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Millwall at The Den, kick-off: 7:45pm.

The 26-year-old Austrian comes into the XI in place of Johnny Russell, who is left out altogether from the trip to the Capital as he closes in on a move away from the club before the January transfer window closes.

That represents the only change Gary Rowett has made to his starting line-up from the team that drew 0-0 with Bristol City at Pride Park Stadium 11 days ago.

It’s Weimann first league start since the 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on New Year’s Day.

There are other changes on the substitutes bench too.

Joe Ledley returns to the matchday fold for the first time since Boxing Day after recovering from a back injury, whilst Kelle Roos replaces the injured Jonathan Mitchell and Ikechi Anya is also recalled.

Notably, David Nugent will make his 600th career appearance in tonight’s meeting with the Lions.

Millwall: Archer, McLaughlin, Meredith, Hutchinson (C), Williams, Gregory, Ferguson, Wallace, Elliott, Saville, Cooper

Substitutes: Martin, Craig, Thompson, Onyedinma, Romeo, Tunnicliffe, Mbula

Derby County: Carson, Wisdom, Keogh (C), Davies, Forsyth; Huddlestone, Thorne; Lawrence, Vydra, Weimann; Nugent

Substitutes: Roos, Anya, Baird, Pearce, Winnall, Jerome, Ledley
