It is understood the EFL will accept Derby's view that it would be unfair to class youngsters who played in their FA Cup loss at Chorley last season as being of 'professional standing'.
That is because they were only involved due to a coronavirus outbreak that prevented Rooney, his entire first-team squad and many under-23 players as well, from being involved.
It means the Rams will be able to bring their squad up to a 23-man limit in time for their opening Championship game against Huddersfield on 7 August.
However, that in itself only addresses one of the major issues Derby are dealing with.
The detail of any contracts offered, which can only be for a single season, or half-a-year if the player joins on loan, will be closely monitored by the English Football League, who impose a salary limit for each individual.
In addition, the four separate reasons for Derby's transfer embargo being imposed in the first place still remain. Until that situation changes, the embargo will stay.
In an interview with BBC Sport on 5 July, Derby chief executive Stephen Pearce said the club wanted to build bridges with the EFL and it is understood they remain in dialogue with them over the additional issues.

Why the alarmed face about Ang running the academy? Those young lads would be in safe hands, all charges were dropped.

All part of a pilot scheme, I assure you.

Hi, Terry and I agree that Mel needs to address two matters NOW - pay HMRC and get the revised accounts in. As I understand it the embargo would then be lifted. The new accounts may reveal breaches of FFP and if so it is possible a new embargo could be imposed but a points deduction would be more likely. By that time I assume players would have been signed following release of the current embargo and surely the EFL could not later cancel those players' registrations!!!???
On a separate matter re the general state of football on which I've written before, I see that Tracey Crouch has proposed a series of measures based on a review commissioned by HMG and the Cultural Secretary has welcomed them and said he would not hesitate to take bold steps where necessary. TC proposed, among other things, that the game needs an independent regulator, reform of the FA, Prem and EFL and a serious review of revenue flows as between the Prem and the others including parachute payments.
She recognised the social, civic and cultural role of clubs within local communities, that sometimes clubs need protecting from their owners and that the governing bodies are not always willing to act themselves and so need "external assistance".
I say amen to all that provided that Government itself does not end up running the game.

There's another huge downside to these embargo rules.
They're going to discourage clubs from giving youngsters a chance in the team, or even loaning them out if that is then going to be used against the club should they make a 1st team appearance while out on loan.
Also, suppose we don't come out of this embargo, what happens if we field one of our existing youth players who wasn't in that list? do we then have to trim the squad or risk another punishment?
The rule seems nonsense, and harms the upcoming players more than it harms the club.
