Overview
- Patrick Agyemang suffered a serious Achilles injury during Monday’s 2-0 win over Stoke City after an awkward, non-contact landing and left the field on a stretcher.
- Manager John Eustace said medical assessments indicate about nine months on the sidelines and called the loss a huge blow to Derby.
- The timeline ends the forward’s season and removes him from USMNT selection for this summer’s home World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
- With Derby still pushing for a play-off place, Eustace said the club want to keep on-loan midfielder Bobby Clark beyond this season.
- Derby pledged the highest level of care, teammates and US peers posted messages of support, and Agyemang thanked fans on Instagram and vowed to return.
