BREAKING NEWS: After Derby County wins, Paul Warne renders a 10-word decision about Dwight Gayle’s injury…
In a close match at home against Bolton, Derby County won for the fourth time in a row thanks to a goal from Kane Wilson in the second half that ended up being the game’s lone goal. For the Rams, who were only one point ahead of their opponents for promotion, it was a significant win. Now leading by four points, Paul Warne’s team is just five points out of the top spot in League One.
The team is in excellent form and has a thrilling finish to the season ahead of them, but they might have to play part of it without Dwight Gayle.
Michael Smith took over for the striker after just 21 minutes of play, which was one of the match’s few unfavorable aspects.
Now that he’s had his injury assessed, Warne has said on the official club website in 10 words, “Dwight Gayle felt his hamstring, which is not a good sign.”
After that, he gave a longer update.”I predict that it will take four weeks. Though I have many talents, medicine isn’t my strongest suit. Hopefully, though, it won’t be too horrible.
Gayle might miss games against Northampton, Blackpool, Portsmouth, Wycombe, and Leyton Orient if Paul Warne is correct.Gayle has scored three goals in his last three games, therefore the Rams will suffer a severe loss.
The Derby County manager did, however, also state that Martyn Waghorn has been used off the bench in the last five games following his recovery from a calf injury, and Conor Washington is now fit.Gayle’s injury would not be the worst thing in the world if they can get through the next few games uninjured because it was previously believed that James Collins might return before the end of the month.
Derby has suffered a great deal of injuries this season, but they have managed it reasonably effectively thus far.
Since Gayle has been playing well, he should have plenty of time to continue where he left off when he returns. If that happens, they will have Collins and Gayle to help them advance.
