The Story in 60 Seconds

Derby County defender Langas is in a "bad way" after suffering an injury just 10 minutes into a 4-0 loss to QPR. Following the setback, manager John Eustace indicated the club may consider exploring the free agent market to address a mounting defensive crisis ahead of Saturday's match against Stoke City.

The injury leaves Derby with significant defensive shortages, as eight of the club's nine injured players are defenders, including Matt Clarke and Eiran Cashin. Right-back Ryan Nyambe replaced Langas to play in central defense, while winger Ryan Hedges has also been utilized out of position at left-back.
