Derby County will continue their pre-season campaign ahead of the 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship season with a short trip to Chesterfield on Wednesday evening (7:30pm kick-off).
Team News
Head Coach Paul Warne could have the majority of his squad available for selection against the Spireites.
Winger Joe Ward and striker Conor Washington could feature for the first time in pre-season after returning to full training following injuries which forced them to sit out the opening friendlies against Matlock Town and Stockport County.
Midfielder Tyrese Fornah (left) and defender Jake Rooney were not involved against Stockport in Spain and are being assessed.
