SQUAD UPDATE: Patrick Agyemang

The club can confirm Patrick Agyemang suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury during the first half of the Sky Bet Championship fixture against Stoke City.

Patrick will be undergoing a further assessment of the injury later today.

The club will provide Patrick with the highest level of medical care and rehabilitation throughout his recovery.

Everyone at Derby County is fully behind Patrick at this difficult time and will continue to support him every step of the way.

As a result of this injury, Patrick will unfortunately miss this summer’s FIFA World Cup. At this stage it would be wrong to put a timeline on his recovery.

Further updates will be communicated in due course.
