Derby County release exciting Eiran Cashin update

So, it’s a concerning time to be a Derby fan, and Eustace has understandably come in for fierce criticism at times.

Derby County have had terrible luck with injuries this season

However, the one major mitigating factor in Eustace’s favour has been the number of injuries that Derby have suffered.

The Rams chief has had to do without a number of important players throughout the season so far, particularly in defence, with Cashin, Sondre Langås, Matt Clarke, Charlie Taylor and Derry Murkin among the absentees.

That forced Derby into the free agent market, with Jack Robinson and Shane Duffy joining to bolster the ranks.

And, whilst the duo played their part in the win over Bolton, with Robinson getting on the scoresheet, Eustace will be desperate to get his first-team players back out on the pitch as soon as possible.

Eiran Cashin injury latest as he closes in on Derby County return

Pleasingly for the Rams, there has been some positive news on the injury front, as the club shared a social media post of Cashin back with the group.

The 25-year-old, who returned to Pride Park on loan from Brighton in the summer, has not played since the 2-1 defeat at home to Birmingham City in September due to a calf injury.

That has kept the Irish international out of action for two months, but he is now back training with his teammates, which is a massive boost for Eustace.

Therefore, provided he doesn’t suffer any setbacks, it seems highly likely that Cashin will be in the starting XI when Derby return to action at Southampton on November 21.

Derby County fans react to positive Eiran Cashin injury update

This season has been a real struggle for Derby fans, and with away games at Southampton, Wolves and Middlesbrough in the next four games, there may be some more difficult days ahead for the Rams.

But, it’s important to recognise how injuries have impacted the club, as Eustace has been robbed of so many key players, especially at the back.

Of course, that doesn’t absolve him of all blame, but it’s needed to add context around Derby’s situation.

So, all connected to the East Midlands outfit will be delighted to see Cashin back involved, and they will expect the centre-back to be an influential figure very quickly.

That was reflected with these supporters, who clearly feel Cashin will make a big impact on the team...

Meanwhile, these fans were delighted to hear something positive after months of negativity around the club.
