Gold Coast and GWS have both been dealt injury blows ahead of round 10, with the Suns losing Sam Collins and the Giants Zac Williams.

Collins will miss "an extended period of time" with an injury to his hip, after scans revealed a stress fracture in his femur.

โ€œSamโ€™s undergone an MRI yesterday after experiencing a little bit of low-grade hip pain,โ€ Gold Coast's Head Physiotherapist Lindsay Bull told the club's website.

โ€œWeโ€™ve found that thereโ€™s a stress reaction in Samโ€™s femur so unfortunately that means weโ€™re going to need to offload him for a little period of time before we can then reload him and get him back into training.

โ€œHopefully with Sam we expect to see him back soon after the bye.โ€

Williams, on the other hand, has just been ruled out of the Giants' clash with Melbourne at the MCG, after injuring his hamstring last weekend.
