Rhian Brewster: Derby foward to miss two games with consussion

BBC Sport · West Ham

Derby County will be without forward Rhian Brewster for at least the next two matches because of concussion.

The 26-year-old was forced off after only 22 minutes of Saturday's 3-0 defeat by West Ham United in the Championship.

Brewster has been involved in all of Derby's opening five games of the league season, starting the past two.

"He's feeling a lot better, he was really groggy on Saturday night, he felt dizzy and sick during the game," Rams boss John Eustace told BBC Radio Derby.

"It's a big blow because I was really excited to give him a run of games - he's a top performer at this level and he needs to get fit and get games under his belt so it's a shame now for him to miss another couple."

Derby are at home to West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday, 9 September (19:45 BST).
