WILL Hughes has been recalled to the Derby County starting line-up for Tuesday's Championship clash at Blackpool (8pm).
The midfielder, who has not started the previous four games as he recovered from a hip flexor injury, replaces Jeff Hendrick in the only change from Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough.
Hendrick does not even make the bench, due to a hip problem of his own, so James Bailey is back in the matchday 18.
Jamie Ward (hamstring) and Simon Dawkins (groin) remain sidelined for the Rams.
"There is one enforced change," said Rams coach Paul Simpson. "We thought Jeff Hendrick was going to be OK for tonight's game but, unfortunately, he has a slight problem with his hip flexor.
"He doesn't really know where he got it from. He didn't feel it on Sunday when we came in but after training yesterday, he said it was a bit too sore and we didn't want to take any chances in all honesty.
"When we have got someone like Will Hughes chomping at the bit to get back in the side, we felt it was right to leave Jeff out of it and make sure we get him right if not for the weekend, then definitely for the following Easter fixtures.
"We had discussions about changing the side but, on the whole, the team has done very well.
"We were disappointed with Saturday - we accept that - we didn't perform like we believe our Derby County team can."
Blackpool boss Barry Ferguson makes four changes to his side following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to bottom club Yeovil Town.
Angel Martinez, Elliot Grandin, Stephen Dobbie and Andy Keogh come in for Chris Basham, Neal Bishop, Andy Halliday and Apostolos Vellios.
Former Derby strikers Robert Earnshaw and Steven Davies are both injured for the Seasiders.
