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.

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.
