DCFC are sat in 16th place in the Championship table after their first four fixtures of the new season and they are two points off the play-offs. Forsyth, 37, has been a great servant to the Rams and has been on the books at Pride Park since 2013. He has made 407 appearances for them in all competitions to date, four of which have come in this campaign, and he has chipped in with 14 goals and 33 assists from the back along the way. In this latest update regarding his condition, his head coach Eustace has said, as per their official club website: “Craig’s in a bit of a bad way. He’s had a scan on his knee. It doesn’t look good. He’s seeing a specialist tomorrow, so hopefully it won’t be season-ending, but it’s going to be a few months for him.” Derby County won 2-0 away at Portsmouth last time out after goals by attacking pair Sammie Szmodics and Lars-Jorgen Salvesen. They are back in action this weekend against West Ham at the London Stadium.

He is a useful option for DCFC to have available and is a dependable player. He has bags of experience and is a steady operator at second tier level. The Rams have recently re-signed Eiran Cashin on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion so he will now slot in for the veteran. Forsyth is out of contract at the end of this term.
