Derby County recall Kieron Freeman from Notts County loan

Derby County have recalled Kieron Freeman from his loan spell at Notts County ahead of the packed festive schedule of games.

Rams manager Steve McClaren ends Freeman's time with the Magpies a month early after skipper Richard Keogh was ruled out for a month of action with a knee injury.

Freeman made seven appearances in all competitions for Derby before joining Notts County last month.

He heads back to the iPro Stadium with Derby the form team of the whole country with seven straight victories.
