Derby lose Hughes for six months

Hughes injured his anterior cruciate ligament during Saturday’s goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers and the club’s assessment is that he will go under the knife.
The 20-year-old is expected to miss around six months of first-team football.
“Everyone connected with Derby County wishes Will a speedy recovery,” said a statement on the club’s official site.
Hughes has already made 138 appearances for Derby, scoring 10 goals, and has represented England at under-17 and under-21 levels.
