Derby County's players are concerned about the club's future after Chris Kirchner's takeover fell through on Friday.

The American failed to meet the deadline for rescuing the club, with proof of funds needing to be submitted by Friday at 5pm.

Administrators have asked for clarification on how the club will now get out of administration, with discussion beginning with other potential buyers.

For now, Kirchner's failure to provide proof of funds - despite being named preferred bidder in April - has left real worry around those at Pride Park.

Former Rams man Curtis Davies told Talksport that his contacts at the club have expressed their worry at the situation and its future.

He said: “I've spoken to a couple of players and it's the same message. We're getting most of our information from social media and news outlets and we're all waiting to see what's happening.

“Ultimately when you see reports like this [the 5pm Friday deadline], it doesn't look positive for the current takeover."

Davies added: “I'm extremely concerned because if you're a fan sitting at home and you're reading the reports and you hear that a player is reading those same reports to get his information, then you'd have to be worried.

“You'd be silly not to be worried."
