LONDON (Reuters) - Derby County were handed a nine-point sanction on Tuesday for breaches of the English Football League (EFL) financial rules, bringing their total points deduction to 21 after the club entered administration in September.

Derby, managed by former England and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney, are currently bottom of the Championship on -3 points and will almost certainly be relegated this season to the third tier League One.
