Leyton Orient vs York - Leyton Orient to face York after week in hotel

Leyton Orient's players will return from a week spent in a hotel as they bid to halt their slump in form at home to York on Saturday.

The O's have won only twice in 12 league matches and have been staying together in Waltham Abbey in Essex since their defeat to Hartlepool last weekend.

The club's woes deepened with the news that winger Dean Cox will be out for six months after damaging a cruciate ligament in his knee during training.

Connor Essam (ankle) and Paul McCallum (knee) will also miss Saturday's match while Ben Grainger may keep his place in goal, given regular number one Alex Cisak was still in Bangladesh on Tuesday representing Australia.

New signing William Boyle is set to go straight into the York starting line-up after signing on a youth loan from Huddersfield earlier this week.

Boyle is a ready-made replacement for fellow central defender Dave Winfield who is ruled out due to concussion rules after suffering the injury in the defeat to Plymouth last week.

Bryn Morris returns after missing the last two games due to international duty with the England Under-20s, while Marvin McCoy is also back from suspension.

Luke Summerfield is still out due to concussion and Reece Thompson remains absent due to a long-term illness.
