Key player update: Derby County team news and predicted XI to face Shrewsbury Town
The latest Derby County team news as Paul Warne’s side gear up to face Shrewsbury Town in League One on Saturday afternoon.
Derby County return to Pride Park this weekend following their 1-0 victory over Charlton Athletic last Saturday, which saw them rise to 2nd in the table.
The Rams wrapped up the three points courtesy of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing’s first-half strike. The victory also saw them capitalise on Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers dropping points to jump into the automatic spots.
When Warne’s men last met Shrewsbury Town, the hosts recorded a 1-0 win over the Rams due to a Conor Hourihane own goal. There is no doubt that the Rams will be out for revenge on home soil as they look to maintain their place in the top two.

Supporters might have been concerned when match-winner Mendez-Laing was subbed off through injury shortly after his goal against Charlton Athletic, but Warne has eased worries with an update on the Guatemala international.
“The update is he’s sore,” the Rams boss told Derbyshire Live.
“I think he’ll be fine, but he’s just sore, so I don’t think he’ll be on the grass today, but the intention is he trains tomorrow. So he should be fine.
