Collingwood midfielder Brayden Sier will miss much of the remainder of the home and away season with a thigh injury.

The 22 year-old injured his right quadriceps in the match against Adelaide last Tuesday evening, his third outing for the season.

“Unfortunately, it is not a short term injury,” Collingwood GM of Football, Geoff Walsh, said.

“There is hope for a return this season but right now we can’t be certain of that. It’s disappointing for Brayden, who had just made his way back into the side and found some form.”

Sier has played 21 matches across his five seasons at the Holden Centre.
