Andy King has returned to training for Derby County following a lengthy injury lay-off.

The City star joined the Rams on loan in January before suffering severe ligament damage in his ankle in February.

King returned to City for treatment with his season set to be over, he tweeted at the time: "Injuries are part of football and it’s how you bounce back that matters.

"Thanks to Derby County for making me feel so welcome in my short time and I wish you good luck for the rest of the season.

"Now it’s about getting fit and coming back stronger."

However, King could yet play again for Derby this season.

Rams boss Frank Lampard has revealed that King could feature again for County should they make it to the play-offs.

"He is training with us, again," Lampard told DerbyshireLive.

"He has come back, and he is great to have in the dressing room because of his personality and experience.

"He is our player until the end of the season, so we will have to see how he progresses.

"He is in latter stage of his injury, but the latter stage is the important bit to get match fitness.

"With the injuries to (midfielders) Craig Bryson and Duane Holmes at the minute, hopefully they won't be out that long, but at the same time having Kingy back is a no-brainer."

Derby currently sit sixth in the Championship table with a four-point advantage over Bristol City and a goal difference advantage over Middlesbrough, as well as a game in-hand.
