Derby County captain Richard Keogh could be out of action until 2021, as the extent of the knee injury suffered in a car crash last week became apparent on Monday.
Keogh was a back-seat passenger in an incident last week, as a car containing Derby stars Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett was involved in a collision with a lamppost on the A6, on the way back from a team bonding session.
Lawrence and Bennett were both arrested and later charged for drink driving, and things went from bad to worse when it emerged that 34-year-old Keogh was badly injured in the incident.
