Sporting KC's Collin out with facial fractures

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) Sporting Kansas City defender Aurelien Collin will miss up to two weeks after sustaining two facial fractures during the MLS All-Star game.

Collin was hurt during a collision with Chelsea's Michael Essien near midfield during the game Wednesday night between a team of MLS All-Stars and the Premier League club in Chester, Pa.

Collin played 36 minutes before getting hurt in the MLS team's 3-2 victory.

The 26-year-old Frenchman has started all 21 regular-season matches this season, helping Sporting KC to post nine shutouts with a league-leading 0.90 goals-against average. Collin has also scored three goals with an assist.
