Green was running in training when the injury occurred

Derby County midfielder Paul Green is out for the rest of the season with a foot injury.

The 25-year-old former Doncaster player broke his fifth metatarsal in training on Friday.

Manager Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby: "He set off sprinting and felt a little pop in his foot.

"He's got a crack in his metatarsal, so it'll be six to eight weeks which should pretty much rule him out for the rest of the season."

Clough added: "He's distraught at the moment because he's the sort of lad that if you had games seven days a week, he'd want to play in them all."

Fellow midfielder Miles Addison has also been ruled out for the rest of the season with a stress fracture in his foot.
