Paul Warne has named his first squad as Head Coach of Derby County for this afternoon’s Sky Bet League One meeting with Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium (3pm kick-off).


He makes three changes to the side that beat Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 at Pride Park Stadium a fortnight ago by bringing James Collins, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Lewis Dobbin into the starting eleven.

Jake Rooney, Korey Smith and Joseph Anang are edging closer to being involved in the squad but still remain sidelined for this one due to injury. Striker David McGoldrick also misses out through injury.

Cambridge United: Mitov (GK), Williams, Digby (C), Jones, Ironside, Smith, Dunk, Lankester, Rossi, Tracey, May

Substitutes: Mannion (GK), Taylor, Brophy, O'Neil, Okedina, Okenabirhie, Knibbs

Derby County: Wildsmith (GK), Hourihane, Chester, Cashin, Barkhuizen, Bird, Collins, Mendez-Laing, Dobbin, Davies (C), Knight

Substitutes: Loach (GK), Stearman, Forsyth, Roberts, Thompson, Osula, Sibley
