Will Hughes returns to the Derby County starting line-up for today’s televised Sky Bet Championship clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers, kick-off: 12:30pm.

The 21-year-old midfielder served a one-match suspension last week after collecting five yellow cards this season and missed the Rams’ 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at the iPro Stadium.

He returns to the Rams’ midfield three, replacing Jamie Hanson who drops to the substitutes bench for the trip to Molineux Stadium.

The other change comes at left back as Marcus Olsson misses out on today’s meeting.

Max Lowe, the academy graduate, comes back into the starting line-up for the first time since the Rams’ 1-0 win over Leeds United last month.

Notably, Jason Shackell returns to the matchday fold following a long injury layoff and is named on the substitutes bench by Steve McClaren for today’s meeting with the central defender’s former club.

From back to front, Scott Carson will be looking to maintain his recent impressive run of good form, which has seen him keep three clean sheets in four games, in Derby’s goal.

With Lowe a new addition at left, the Republic of Ireland international trio of Cyrus Christie, Richard Keogh and Alex Pearce complete the back four.

With Hanson dropping to the substitutes bench, Bradley Johnson will fill the void left in the holding midfield role as Hughes partners Jacob Butterfield in the advanced midfield positions.

Tom Ince and Johnny Russell continue to take up the positions on the flanks, assisting Darren Bent, who will lead the line in his 399th career start in today’s meeting with Wolves.

In a strong looking bench, McClaren, the Derby manager, will be in a position to call upon Jonathan Mitchell, Craig Bryson, Shackell, Ikechi Anya, Matěj Vydra, Andreas Weimann and Hanson.
