Mick McCarthy offers support to 'great bloke' Richard Keogh after car crash

Mick McCarthy has offered his support to Richard Keogh, as the veteran Irish defender begins his recovery from the career-threatening knee injury which he sustained in a car crash last Tuesday night following which two of his Derby County teammates - Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett - were charged with drink-driving.

According to the club, Keogh, the team’s captain, had been involved in an extended drinking session which led up to the accident in which he was a passenger in a car when it crashed into a signpost.
