Derby County's appeal against 12-point deduction in the Championship has been adjourned.

The Championship outfit, managed by Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, received the penalty in September as they were found guilty of breaching financial rules.

Derby are in administration and have serious financial problems at present.

A new date for the hearing is not yet announced.

An EFL spokesman said: "The EFL can confirm that the appeal hearing date in respect of the sporting sanction imposed on Derby County for entering administration has been adjourned."
