Nigel Clough fears injury blow for Roberts and Green

Clough's men are nine points clear of the Championship drop zone

Derby County manager Nigel Clough fears that both Paul Green and Gareth Roberts will miss the Championship run-in with knee injuries.

Midfielder Green and left-back Roberts were both hurt during Saturday's 4-1 defeat against Cardiff City.

Green was replaced before half-time and Roberts was taken off on a stretcher after the break.

Clough said: "We suspect ligament damage. If that is the case, they will be out for the rest of the season."
