Derby County's Jacob Widell Zetterstrom sidelined with knee injury

Summary

Derby County goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom is expected to miss up to two months due to a knee injury sustained during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Birmingham City. Despite his injury, Zetterstrom played through the second half but has since withdrawn from the Sweden squad for upcoming Nations League matches. His absence raises concerns for a Derby team already facing significant injury troubles, which includes players like Matt Clarke and Rhian Brewster. Josh Vickers is anticipated to take over goalkeeping duties in Zetterstrom's absence as Derby navigates this challenging stretch.
