Center back Aurelien Collin still is not available to play for the Red Bulls in the first leg of their MLS Eastern Conference playoff series against Toronto FC at Red Bull Arena Monday night.

He has plantar fasciitis.

It is not known when Collin will be available to play.

Two teammates are out as well — defender Gideon Baah, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve, although he has played with Red Bull II, and midfielder Mike Grella, who had season-ending knee surgery.

The second leg of the series is set for BMO Field in Toronto, Canada Sunday, Nov. 5.
