BLACKBURN Rovers winger Josh King will mark his return from injury by playing in tonight's U21s Premier League encounter with Derby County at Ewood Park.

The Norway international has not played since he came off during his country's 2-1 home victory over Bulgaria on October 14.

The Rams clash will also see young striker Anton Forrester make his first competitive appearance since March 11 when he suffered cruciate ligament damage while playing on loan for Bury.

Jake Kean, one of four senior keepers in Gary Bowyer's first-team squad, will take his place between the posts.

Rovers will also hand an U21s debut to defender Sam Jones. 

Kick-off is 7pm and admission is free for all supporters.

Only the Jack Walker Lower stand will be open.

Rovers: Kean, Daly, Doyle, Bauress, Jones, Songo'o, Mahoney, Carson, King, Forrester, Green. Subs: Rittenberg, Crump, Preston, Tanner, Lavelle.
