Gold Coast SUNS vice-captain Sam Collins is in contention to return to action for Friday night’s blockbuster clash against Collingwood at People First Stadium.

Collins missed last week’s win over Essendon with a calf complaint.

“The decision was made to withdraw Sam from last week’s match after he reported some calf tightness following a training session. He will train this week and we will make a decision on his availability for Friday night closer to match day,” GC SUNS Head Physiotherapist Lindsay Bull said.

In further positive news, small forward Tom Berry is available for selection after overcoming a knee injury. Berry last ran out for the SUNS in Round 2 of the VFL in March.
