Miles Addison may be looking at a long recovery from foot injury
Derby County have confirmed that the injury to Miles Addison could be worse than anyone had expected.

The youngster is still in a lot of pain following the injury and the latest scans are due tomorrow. Only then will the extent of the foot injury be known.

Rams manager Nigel Clough fears that Miles may be out for the rest of the current season and the injury seems to mirror that suffered by Giles Barnes, which took nearly a complete season to recover from.

Addison has proved to be a sensation after moving from defense into midfield earlier this season, although Addison is equally at home in the back four. The loss will be a major blow as the Rams have recently been in superb form and have pulled clear of the relegation mire but need to maintain the run to be certain of retaining their Championship status for next season....
