The Story in 60 Seconds

Derby County manager John Eustace was unable to provide a full update on midfielder Lewis Travis following an injury sustained against Stoke City. Travis was substituted in the 52nd minute for Rhian Brewster, shortly after Luke Graham scored for the visitors. Eustace told BBC Radio Derbyshire that he had not yet spoken to the player or medical staff, but expressed hope that the issue would not result in a long absence.

The setback adds to Derby County's growing injury problems, with midfielder Alex Mowatt already ruled out prior to kickoff due to a foot problem. Following the home defeat to Stoke, Derby sit 23rd in the Championship table with only one victory in their previous 11 matches.
