Paul Warne will be without both Eiran Cashin and Kane Wilson for Derby County’s trip to Vicarage Road to play Watford on Saturday after both defensive players picked up injuries last weekend against Middlesbrough.
It was confirmed by manager Paul Warne in his press conference on Thursday morning that the two will miss the rest of August, with Cashin, 22, out for the next two games.
It also looks unlikely that Wilson, 24, will make an appearance before the international break, potentially making his next game the September 14 fixture against Cardiff City at Pride Park.
Cashin was substituted in the 20th minute following a collision with teammate Callum Elder in the Rams’ box, with the centre-back requiring medical attention on the pitch before he was replaced by Sonny Bradley as a concussion substitution.
Wilson was brought off just five minutes later due to a hamstring issue. Ryan Nyambe was brought on to fill the right-back position for the rest of the match, helping the Rams to a 1-0 win over Boro, Derby’s first league win of the season.
The two injuries marred a poignant day for the club, who won their first Championship game since April 2022 after relegation to League One.
Derby County have defensive cover readily available
Although there will be concerns about the injuries, Warne does have cover for the two, with Bradley and Nyambe raring to go.
Both players were exceptional against Middlesbrough in an extremely tough match, with Bradley in particular a stand-out following a tough first season in black-and-white.
