Suffers calf strain
Collins was forced off after 17 minutes of Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw against Sunderland with a calf strain, according to coach Keith Andrews. "It's a calf strain. I don't know the extent."
Analysis: Collins' early exit is a concern for Brentford, with the captain having established himself as a key presence at the heart of the defense. The severity of the calf strain and a potential recovery timeline remain unclear, leaving his availability for the upcoming fixtures uncertain. Jannik Schuster replaced Collins against Sunderland and impressed across his 73 minutes on the pitch, recording nine clearances, making him a strong candidate to start at center-back if Collins is forced to miss time.
Exits with injury in first half
Collins exited Saturday's game against Sunderland in the first half due to an undisclosed injury.
Analysis: The center-back departed the contest in the 17th minute with an undisclosed injury, and further tests will be needed to determine whether he'll be forced to miss an extended period of time. Jannik Schuster took his place in the defensive line and will make his EPL debut.
