West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison confirmed that midfielder Toby Collyer suffered a hamstring injury against Blackburn Rovers. The 22-year-old was substituted shortly before half-time during the Baggies' 3-2 victory at The Hawthorns. West Brom will assess the midfielder over the coming days ahead of their upcoming Championship clash with Preston North End.

Collyer joined West Brom on a permanent transfer from Manchester United during the summer window after a previous loan stint with the club. Morrison admitted he should not have risked the player across three matches in a week given his previous workload, noting alternative midfield options such as Ousmane Diakite remain available.
