Paul Collingwood may not be available for Delhi Daredevils in the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 starting October 8 as the England batsman has picked up a buttock injury in the ongoing Champions Trophy.

England coach Andy Flower said Collingwood will undergo a scan on the muscle injury that he sustained during the semifinal loss to Australia when he returns to England from South Africa.



"We have a contract with the IPL about making our players available, however Collingwood has picked up a little niggle in his buttock. He's going back to England with us and will have a scan. A proper assessment and decision will be made," said Flower.

"It's a genuine injury. We don't know how bad it is but he definitely did something when he played one of his first pull shots on Friday against Australia.
