They mentioned at the start of the second half that they thought Long might have jarred his knee. They seemed to think it was risky bringing him back out for the second half, seems they were right.
Long hobbled off, yeah, not sure what the nature of the injury was. Obafemi will be out for another two or three weeks, which is a shame for him as games like last night would have been perfect for him to get meaningful games.

Keogh made his 600th career appearance last night - https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2019/03/...-my-600th-game
Derby came from behind to beat Wigan 2-1 and are now only outside the playoffs on GD, after a very poor run of form. Also... any excuse to show this goal from Mason Bennett to bring Derby level.
Keogh reportedly injured in car crash as Derby team-mates charged with drink-driving https://the42.ie/4825668
Keep in mind Keogh is a man of 33 and jumped into this car. All the best with the recovery and it's a pity he will surely miss the upcoming qualifiers but Christ...
Let's hope the Duffy prognosis isn't too worrying.
Shoulda got a Cab to protect his Knee Cap .
Seemingly doesn't have a licence and doesn't drive so that's how he escaped being arrested.

Out for the season and Derby haven't held back in their statement.
Puts us in a spot of bother with Duffy possibly out. McCarthy obviously favours Duffy but personally see Egan and Lenihan as better options to partner Duffy. Sounds like Derby are done with him and rightly so. Imagine that's also the end with Ireland given the time he will be out.
duffy, keogh and stevens missing leaves us without 3 of our first choice back 4 for georgia match
Terrible news. At least none of them were killed and they didn’t injure anyone else and....Lawrence is an attacking midfielder/winger, Bennett is a forward but can play on the wings; both have been in and out of derby team this year, so should open up more opportunities for Jason Knights development
To try and put a positive spin on it-
-Some think Duffy is a relentless hoofer and we'll play more constructive football without him
-Sheffield United fans are perplexed that Keogh plays for us ahead of Egan anyway
-People have been crying out for Doherty's involvement
It's really not good though, hard to get the head around the stupidity of Keogh here, even more so than the other players involved.
That Bulgaria non-event is looking quite valuable now, with the prospect of Long and Egan playing together again. Hopefully last night isn't the start of a horror two weeks of injuries leading into the two games, but it feels like we've been here before.
WTF happened?
Oh I was wondering how two were charged with drunk driving and thinking both crashed, I guess only one
crashed and the other driver forgot to do a runner, obvious Richard was in no condition to do a runner.....
You would think they could afford a taxi.....
Just a disgrace... how many people die every year because of some ass*ole is too lazy to get a taxi
Absolute moron. Club captain setting an example like that. I'm not surprised Derby were so strong in their official statement.
There is zero excuse for drink driving. Doesnt matter if he was the one driving or not, he went along with it and deserves to be sacked by the club
The statement by the club is surprising, two players have been charged with an offence, they haven’t been convicted yet.They may well be in due course, but only after they are afforded due process.Derby County don’t appear satisfied to allow that process to take place. Their statement amounts arguably to an attempt to interfere with an ongoing investigation and also compromises the rights of those two players to a fair trial.
Keogh will be a loss to us, not as big a loss as Duffy but I hope it’s not career-threatening, he never let us down when he played and warmed the bench endlessly without complaint. At worst, it appears that he made a foolish decision to get into the wrong car but as things stand, we don’t know what happened.
The two lads were absolutely smashed and wrapped a car around a pole. There's only one outcome of any case and they were 100% right to throw those clowns to the wolves. They deserve everything that's about to come their way. Keogh is paying the price too, he's almost as bad as that pair and should have known better. I don't care if you're penniless, there's no excuse. But millionaire footballers who had free transport provided? Horrible, horrible people.
Keogh isn't a good player anyway. Mick's rigidity and inability to really experiment given the lack of friendlies is the only reason he's in there ahead of Egan. We're no worse off and if Duffy is fit then we're playing our two best central defenders.
