What we know as Toby Collyer hit by new injury in West Brom win vs Blackburn

West Brom midfielder Toby Collyer was forced off injured against Blackburn on Saturday.

It was still an afternoon to remember at The Hawthorns, as the Baggies fought back to win 3-2.

Being two down quickly, goals from Barney Stewart, Isaac Price and Felix Horn Myhre sealed all three points.

But, it wasn't without negatives for James Morrison.

Collyer was forced off minutes before half-time, being replaced by Ousmane Diakite at the base of midfield.

So, West Brom News has put together what we know about the injury blow so far for the midfielder.

What is the issue for Toby Collyer?

Speaking after the game, Morrison confirmed that it was a hamstring problem.

Described as "little", it likely isn't anything that will keep Collyer out of action longer term.

Morrison, however, did admit blame.

The manager stated that starting three games in eight days at the heart of midfield was likely a step too far.

That's the gruelling nature of the Championship, though.

Morrison went onto admit that Diakite played like he should have been starting after coming on, too.

How long could Toby Collyer be out for?

It all depends on just how 'little' the damage really is.

A grade one hamstring strain can settle by itself within days, but can also keep a player out for up to three weeks if bad enough.

Then, a grade two can keep players out for up to months, with that described as a moderate strain.

It likely won't be worse than that, given the description and how Collyer left the field with the medical staff.

A grade three is a complete tear of the hamstring, and could result in six months out, so thankfully, that appears to have been avoided by finding the issue early.

Before signing permanently over the summer for £4million, injuries hit Collyer hard while on loan at The Hawthorns last season, too.

The Baggies go to Preston next, before ending the month on Halloween with a tricky trip to West Ham United.

If he has to miss any, Collyer may be best being rested at Deepdale before returning for the London Stadium.

Fingers crossed that's how it plays out.
