Collins (calf) is progressing toward a return but remains uncertain for Saturday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, according to coach Keith Andrews. "Closer, is the case with all of those players you just mentioned. They're coming back from different injuries and different lengths of injuries."
Analysis:Collins continues recovering from the calf injury he sustained against Sunderland, which has kept him out of Brentford's subsequent fixtures, including the draw against Aston Villa. The club captain is getting closer to returning, although his availability against Liverpool remains uncertain. Sepp van den Berg, who was a regular starter before his injury, is expected to start in central defense, with Jannik Schuster also uncertain due to an ankle issue.
