Derby captain and Ireland international Richard Keogh has suffered a knee injury which will prevent him playing until the end of the season after an “alcohol-related incident” on a team night out on Tuesday, the Sky Bet Championship club have announced.

Prior to donning the captain’s armband for Saturday’s game against Denmark, Richard Keogh’s last competitive appearance for Ireland had been in the 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw with Wales in Dublin in March, 2017.

The Preston North End striker remains the top-scorer in the League of Ireland this season.
