Theo Robinson will return to the Derby squad for the trip to Wolves.

Robinson, last season's joint-top goalscorer, was dropped from the squad for the game against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old has been told he must step-up his work rate if he wants to keep his place in the side.
He has responded in a positive manner to being left out, playing the full 90 minutes and scoring in the Rams' Under-21 league fixture against Leeds on Wednesday afternoon.
His performance in the 2-2 draw at Leeds' Thorp Arch training ground was watched by manager Nigel Clough and members of the Rams' coaching staff.
"Theo worked very hard and he will be back in the first-team squad for Saturday's game against Wolves," said Clough. "If he gets back to doing what he did against Leeds, then he'll be fine."
Defender Jake Buxton, Derby's leading scorer so far this season with three goals, missed the 2-0 defeat to Bolton through illness but Clough hopes to have the centre-half back in his squad for the Molineux match.M
