Derby County manager Paul Warne has revealed that Ryan Nyambe, the team’s defender, will be sidelined for possibly six months following his injury during the match against Millwall. In their recent game against Oxford United, Derby County secured a 1-1 draw with Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scoring the equalizer after Dane Scarlett’s opener. With Nyambe out, the right-back position is now up for grabs.
Warne confirmed Nyambe’s lengthy absence due to a knee injury, a setback after his consistent performance in recent games. Kane Wilson will likely step in temporarily, having shown promise in his previous matches. Looking ahead, Derby may consider options in the transfer market in January depending on Nyambe’s recovery timeline.
For now, Wilson is expected to hold the fort at right-back, with Joe Ward and potentially Jake Rooney offering cover. The team faces Hull City next, aiming to improve their form after a run of one win in the last six matches.
