Barnes' only goal this season came at Newcastle
|
Derby's Giles Barnes is to see the specialist who treated Michael Owen, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Alan Shearer for treatment on his knee injury.
The 19-year-old misses the rest of the season after being injured in training and will undergo surgery at the hands of Dr Richard Steadman if necessary.
"He's the best in the world so he'll have a look at Giles. Hopefully he can put it right," said boss Paul Jewell.
"We don't know the extent of it but he won't play again this season."

606: DEBATE

One piece of good news for Derby is that Barnes's injury does not involve ligament damage.
But he joins team-mates Claude Davis, Tyrone Mears and loanee Danny Mills in being out the rest of the campaign.
Derby are rock bottom of the Premier League table, with just 10 points from 28 games and one win all season, over Newcastle on 17 September.
