Paul Warne has received unfortunate news regarding an injury setback, with one of his key Derby County players potentially sidelined for up to four months.
Derby fans were in high spirits on Wednesday following the confirmation of David Ozoh as their sixth summer signing. The winger joins on loan from Crystal Palace.
The joy of David Ozoh’s arrival was short-lived as Derby County suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Chesterfield in their recent pre-season friendly. Chesterfield, newly promoted to League Two, dominated the match from start to finish, with goals from Ollie Banks, Will Grigg, and a brace from James Berry securing the comprehensive victory.
While such a defeat would raise concerns in a competitive fixture, it’s important to reassure supporters that this was a friendly match, so there’s no need for panic. Unfortunately, the disappointing scoreline wasn’t the only setback for Derby fans, as news emerged that one of Paul Warne’s key players could potentially face up to four months on the sidelines.
Derby County has been dealt a significant blow with the news of Jake Rooney’s injury setback. Rooney sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a match against Bolton Wanderers in September last year.
Despite this setback, the promising young centre-back showed remarkable resilience in his recovery journey, returning to first-team training admirably. He even expressed his determination to reclaim a spot in Paul Warne’s starting lineup for the Championship.
