Derby's Richard Keogh out for Season with Injury from 'Alcohol-Related Incident'

Derby County captain Richard Keogh will not play again for the rest of the season after the club confirmed he suffered a "serious" knee injury in an "alcohol-related incident."

In a statement on their official website, the Rams said the club had organised a dinner for the players on Tuesday and at 8 p.m. the majority of them returned home. It's noted "a small group" carried on "drinking into the night."

The statement continued:

"They should have known when to stop and also ignored the opportunity to be driven home using cars laid on by the club, and chose to stay out.
