Derby County defenders Craig Forsyth and Lewis Travis face injury layoffs

Derby County defender Craig Forsyth faces several months on the sidelines following a knee injury sustained during Tuesday’s match against Portsmouth. The 37-year-old is scheduled to meet with a medical specialist on Friday to determine the specific surgical procedure required for his recovery. Manager John Eustace also confirmed that team captain Lewis Travis will be unavailable for up to five weeks. Travis underwent scans after suffering an injury during the club's 3-0 loss to Swansea City. The loss of both defenders impacts the squad’s experience as the season continues. The team expects further clarity on the recovery timeline for Forsyth following his consultation with the specialist.
