Tom Lawrence & Mason Bennett Facing Sack From Derby After Drink Driving Arrest

Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett could be sacked by Derby County, as the fallout continues from the drink-driving car crash that has ended captain Richard Keogh's season.

The Rams have begun a 'rigorous' internal investigation after authorities arrested Lawrence and Bennett, who are waiting to hear what course of action their employers will take. The club released a statement in the wake of the news, confirming their grave disappointment and condemnation of the pair's behaviour.

Derby are currently reviewing all available evidence of what occurred on 24 September before they decide an appropriate penalty for the duo, according to the Daily Mail.
