Rams Keeper out for final games

Needless challenge by a Millwall striker leaves Oakes with a damaged shoulder

Rams keeper Andy Oakes could be out of action for the remaining four games of the season.

Oakes damaged his shoulder in after being fouled in his area by a Millwall striker during Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Pride Park. The challenge was a dangerous and needless one that resulted in Oakes landing awkwardly on his shoulder.

Although it has been confirmed that Oakes didn’t dislocate the joint it is feared that he may well have damaged ligaments in the shoulder, which will undoubtedly see him miss the remainder of the season.
