Lampard rues loss of King
Derby County will be without loanee Andy King for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury sustained in the 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest.
Thirty-year-old Wales international midfielder King joined the Rams right at the end of the January transfer window and made four appearances before seeing his campaign ended early by an injury which may require surgery.
County manager Frank Lampard told his club's official website: "We don't know the specifics yet, but the injury will take him to the end of the season.

"As we look at it now, we will miss him. He will go back there to work on his rehab and maybe speak to a surgeon on whether he needs surgery or not.
"We are a little up in the air at the moment, but it is a significant enough injury to rule him out.
"It adds to the injury list, particularly in midfield where we had injected a lot this season in terms of energy and quality.
"Some players who were here already that have done well - Tom Lawrence, Craig Bryson - and others who have come in - Mason Mount and Andy."
Having won only one of their last five Championship games, the Rams stand one place and two points outside the play-off places.
Their next games comes on Saturday when they head to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa, who have also suffered a loss of form in recent times - having not won in five league outings.
Derby can be backed at 12/5 to defeat the Villans, with a 1-1 draw priced at 11/2 and a 2-2 final scoreline 12/1.
