Former Sunderland defender Danny Collins has reflected on Milan Aleksic's struggling start to his career at the club after the 0-0 draw with Norwich City marked just his second start for the Black Cats.
Aleksic became a Black Cat in August last year, joining from Serbian side Radnicki on a four-year contract, but has made just six appearances in the Championship, becoming a perennial unused substitute as he tries to adapt to English football.
Regis Le Bris started the 19-year-old at Carrow Road on the right-hand side of midfield but Aleksic lasted 68 minutes without making much of an impact on proceedings.
