Nigel Pearson will take his first team squad to Algarve between Wednesday 13 July and Wednesday 20 July, where they will also play one game.

The Rams’ Under 21s and Under 18s outfits will also be flying out to Portugal as part of their own pre-season preparations, with the two age groups also playing one game out during their time there.
