Fears over Collins injury

James Collins is tonight at the centre of speculation that he has suffered damage ligament to his ankle and is heading for a scan in the morning.

The Ginger Pele suffered the injury in the first half and looked likely to come off to avoid further damage but played on until half time and was even sent out for the second half.

Eventually he collapsed off the ball suggesting that the injury may be significant and tonight we received early reports that he may have suffered the ligament damage.

And within the last few minutes  we were told: “Everybody has their fingers crossed for Ginge  We’ll know 100 per cent when he’s scanned tomorrow.

It could be that he’ll only be unavailable for three weeks although being honest it did look bad at the time.”

However, with Ogbonna available on the bench it seems bizarre at best that Collins was sent out for the second half of the game.
