DERBY County manager Steve McClaren has hinted that Spanish attacking midfielder Ivan Calero might be loaned to Burton Albion.
Calero, 19, has been training with the Brewers recently and the possibility of the former Atletico Madrid player spending any time at Burton has begun to excite Albion supporters.
At his press conference today, McClaren said: "We are just giving him a change of environment. We said it might be interesting to go down for a day or two and train and see if he can develop from that.
"It is about under-21 players gaining experience. We have got Kwame Thomas and Alefe Santos out on loan at Notts County."
McClaren and Burton manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have a cordial relationship, Hasslebaink having spent some time as a guest at Derby's training ground, observing training methods, while he was seeking his first managerial role in English football.
Calero, a regular in Derby's under-21 side, has appeared twice for the first team, scoring the only goal against Charlton Athletic in a Capital One Cup tie in August after replacing Simon Dawkins for the last 20 minutes.
He also came on for John Eustace for 12 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in September.
