Birmingham City defender Maxime Colin faces a ‘short spell’ on the sidelines, reports BBC reports Richard Wilford.
Colin, 29, was forced after during the 1-0 loss at West Brom last week. The Frenchman now faces a spell on the sidelines for Birmingham City and will see a specialist about an Achilles problem.
BBC Radio West Midlands reporter Wilford revealed on Twitter earlier today:
The #bcfc defender Maxime Colin faces at least a short spell on the sidelines and will see a specialist about his Achilles problem. Jeremie Bela the most likely deputy. Huddersfield game comes too soon for Ivan Sanchez.

Colin joined Birmingham City from Brentford shortly after the start of the 2017/18 campaign. The former Anderlecht man has since made over 150 league appearances for Blues, and has featured in all 12 Championship fixtures of this season.
Lee Bowyer’s side sit in 19th-place of the table after a run of three-straight defeats in the league, having claimed just one point from their last six as well.
Colin though has been one of the more reliable performers so far this season – the right-back is one of the first names on the team-sheet and his absence will be a huge blow for Bowyer, as he tries to turn his fortunes around.
Up next for Birmingham City is a trip to Huddersfield Town on Wednesday evening.
