Derby County loanee Andy King has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a "freak injury" against Nottingham Forrest on Monday.
The Rams suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Martin O'Neill's men when King's former Leicester City teammate Yohan Benalouane found himself unmarked at the back post to score inside the opening two minutes at the City Ground.
King was forced off the pitch shortly after half time and was replaced by Bradley Johnson.
It has since been confirmed that the 30-year-old midfielder is likely to miss the rest of the season as a result of his injury, becoming the latest in a long list of Derby County players to be sidelined.
