Rams stopper Davis out for season
Derby manager Paul Jewell has revealed Claude Davis is "likely" to be out for the rest of the season after being booked in for a knee operation.
The Jamaican will go under the knife on Friday to cure an injury that has been causing the 28-year-old problems for some time.
"He has been in discomfort and it has got to the stage where he must have surgery," Jewell told BBC Radio Derby.
"That is most likely his season over but we'll know more after the op."
The manager added: "I'm not entirely sure of the complications of the injury, but it's similar to the one sustained by Danny Mills."
606: DEBATE
Mills, who is at Pride Park on loan from Manchester City, was ruled out for the season in January.
Davis has featured in 19 matches for the Rams this season following his £3m summer move from Sheffield United and his absence would be a huge blow to Derby's hopes of survival.
Jewell's side currently hold up the Premier League on nine points, 13 from safety.
