A number of Derby County supporters have been bemoaning a fresh story surrounding manager Wayne Rooney, following a training ground tackle.

The Rams are preparing for another season in the Championship, but it's fair to say that it's a tumultuous time at the club currently.

Derby currently have a transfer embargo that means they can only sign free agents or players on loan, which is unlikely to aid their hopes of improving on last season's performance.

On top of that, Rooney has found himself in the headlines for the wrong reasons, with a new story now emerging regarding the Rams boss.

According to The Telegraph's John Percy on Twitter, it was Rooney's tackle on Jason Knight in training that led to the midfielder being sidelined for 12 weeks with an ankle injury.
