Paul Warne names Derby County team to face Shrewsbury as changes made
Latest Derby County news from Derbyshire Live brings you the side that will face the Shrews this afternoon as the Rams look to go eight games unbeaten
Derby County head coach Paul Warne made three changes to his starting line-up for the clash at Shrewsbury Town this afternoon as the Rams looked to extend their seven-game unbeaten run.
After beating Notts County in the EFL Trophy, the Rams head coach restored Ryan Nyambe, Curtis Nelson and Joe Wildsmith to the XI with Kane Wilson, Sonny Bradley and Josh Vickers dropping to the bench. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing was also rested after his international break exertions with Guatemala while Joe Ward and Callum Elder did not feature on the bench as they work on their fitness after coming back from injury.
In what is expected to be a 4-2-3-1 formation, Wildsmith is in goal behind the back four of Nyambe, Nelson, Eiran Cashin and Craig Forsyth. In midfield, Tyrese Fornah should anchor the midfield alongside Korey Smith against a Shrewsbury side that are looking to secure back-to-back home victories in League One.
