Leyton Orient vs Swindon preview - James missing for O's



Posted Friday, October 03, 2014 by PA

Lloyd James will be missing from the Leyton Orient squad when they host Swindon.

Midfielder James suffered a broken leg during the first half of last Saturday's 3-2 home defeat by Rochdale and underwent an operation on Wednesday.

Bradley Pritchard came on for James against Dale and could now be set for an extended run in the side.

Full-back Gary Sawyer (knee) and striker Kevin Lisbie (shoulder) remain on the sidelines for the managerless O's.

Swindon will be without striker Jonathan Obika when they make the trip.

The in-form 24-year-old, who rattled in five goals in his first five games, will be sidelined for a month with an injured shoulder but the prognosis is better than expected as the Robins initially feared he may need surgery.

Meanwhile Town's latest loanee Amari'i Bell looks set to make another start. The Birmingham loanee made his Swindon bow in the 3-0 win at Barnsley last weekend.

The Robins will assess Brad Smith after the full-back missed that win over the Tykes with a groin injury.
