Leicester City midfielder Andy King returned to Derby County following a fitness boost earlier this month.

King initially joined the Rams on a loan deal in January before returning to City shortly after suffering a freak ankle injury which was season ending.

However, following Derby's qualification for the play-offs there was fresh hope for King, who returned to Derby with target of featuring in their play-off campaign.

Those hopes, though, have proved short-lived with King failing to feature in the Rams' semi-final clashes with Leeds United and he won't make the squad for the play-off final with Aston Villa on Monday either.

King will travel to Wembley to back his teammates, but he has been ruled out of the clash having not been deemed fit enough to feature.

Derby boss Frank Lampard told DerbyshireLive: "He has been training, but he has fallen short in terms of fitness.

"Kingy is nearly fit now, he would need matches, and the final is on Monday.

"It's been a shame for Kingy getting injured so soon after coming in on loan. He has been a great professional and personality to have around the place.

"He will be there on Monday."
