Image: Rui Vieira STEPHEN KENNY SAYS he doesn’t expect Nathan Collins’ confidence to be affected by his high-profile sending-off against Manchester City last weekend.
“I haven’t discussed it with him yet. I may do, between now and Saturday. It is uncharacteristic of Nathan, he is quite disciplined. I am sure he will learn from it.”Collins will be available for Ireland’s Nations League games against Scotland and Armenia over the next seven days, one of a number of centre-back options along with Shane Duffy, John Egan, Seamus Coleman, Dara O’Shea, and Liam Scales.
Collins and Egan are nailed-on starters in the back three, with Duffy, Coleman, and O’Shea vying for the third spot. What O’Shea lacks in experience in that race he compensates for in match sharpness: he has been a regular for West Brom in the Championship this season, whereas Duffy and Coleman’s only starts have come in the League Cup.“It’s not ideal that any of the players that are not playing in their teams. It is not an ideal situation, particularly over a long period of time.
