Derby County manager John Eustace says Carlton Morris will be like “a new signing” when he returns to action in February.
The Rams boss gave an upbeat bulletin on Morris, who suffered an ankle injury in the defeat against Watford last weekend, despite initially fearing it was a season-ending injury.
“It is as good news on his scan as it could be,” said the Derby boss after the 2-1 defeat against Middlesbrough.
“We don’t want to miss him at all but he could be back inside 10-12 weeks which is great.
“We were very fearful he would be out for the season so it is not as long as we thought. We will get the big man back around February time, which is like a new signing for us.”
