David Ozoh will miss the rest of the season as confirmed by Derby County head coach John Eustace during his pre match conference ahead of the game against Middlesbrough, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The on loan Crystal Palace star who will now return to his parent club for treatment was withdrawn Millwall with the club offering no update on his injury yet as he undergoes medication observation.
Speaking on the situation, David revealed his remorse at the unfortunate injury which has cut short his stay at the Championship side as he vows to come back stronger.
"Dear Rams, I honestly don't know where to start. It's tough coming to terms with my season being cut short due to injury. First and foremost I'm thankful for the opportunity to play for such an amazing club. I want to express my gratitude to the fans who have been nothing but amazing from the first time I ever stepped on the pitch and everyone at the club for their unwavering support, it was an honour wearing this badge and it's something I'll hold close to my heart.
"To my teammates, thank you for making this journey enjoyable, you all welcomed me like a family and it's been great sharing the pitch with you. I would also like to say a big thank you to all the coaches, staff and everyone behind the scenes for their hard-work dedication and kindness.
"One of the hardest things for me this season is not being able to be out there with you all as much as I wanted to. But even through the struggles you kept me going. Derby County will always hold a special place in my heart. No matter where football takes me next, I will forever be a Ram".
He will continue to be treated by Crystal Palace with a clear future not in sight.
