Rams keeper Zetterstrom out with knee injury

Jacob Widell Zetterstrom is in his third season with Derby County [Getty Images] Derby County goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom has suffered a knee injury that could keep him out for up to two months. The 28-year-old was hurt in the second half of Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Birmingham City, but continued to play on despite initially looking as if he would be forced to leave the pitch. While he saw out the Championship match, Zetterstrom has now had to withdraw from the Sweden squad for the four upcoming Nations League group games against Romania, Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina in late September and and early October. Zetterstrom is not expected to return to action until mid-November, which means he could miss as many as eight league games for a lowly Rams side already dealing with an injury crisis. Before the Swede suffered his knock against Blues, Henrik Meister had already left the field on a stretcher after suffering a head knock. The pair are now among a lengthy list of players, including Matt Clarke, Derry Murkin, Filip Bilbija, Rhian Brewster, Craig Forsyth and Lewis Travis, who have been consigned to the treatment room. Zetterstrom, a goalkeeper the Rams did well to keep hold of in the summer after he drew plenty of transfer interest with his showings at the World Cup, will likely be replaced by Josh Vickers, who has so far been named on the bench in every game for Derby this season.
