Fielding set for Rovers return

On-loan goalkeeper Frank Fielding looks set to return to Blackburn following Derby's East Midlands' showdown against Leicester. Fielding`s month-long stay with the Rams is due to expire after the Championship clash at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday and Derby`s number one, Stephen Bywater, is now close to fitness following a wrist injury. He is back in full training and expected to be ready for the game against Scunthorpe on November 20. Fielding has stepped in for the last six matches, helping Derby to five wins, and manager Nigel Clough has been delighted with the 22-year-old`s contribution. "We have been hugely impressed with Frank. He has fitted into the dressing room and the team. He made two wonderful saves at crucial times at Ipswich, the first at 1-0 and the other at 2-0," said Clough. "We are monitoring Stephen Bywater this week. He is back in full training and if his wrist is okay there might not be much point in keeping Frank. "We will get Stephen back in there, he is our number one. But if Stephen doesn`t feel quite right then we will just extend Frank's loan straight away. Frank has enjoyed it here and we want him to keep another clean sheet at Leicester."
