Leyton Orient vs Notts County - Nicky Hunt banned for Orient

Posted Saturday, February 18, 2017 by PA

Leyton Orient will be without defender Nicky Hunt against Notts County after he was booked for the 10th time this season in the dramatic win at Plymouth in midweek.

Hunt serves a two-game ban as the O's look to stretch their unbeaten run to three games. Manager Danny Webb is also waiting to see if midfielder Liam Kelly will be available after he was charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for pushing a ball boy at Home Park.

Elsewhere, defender Yvan Erichot and midfielder Nigel Atangana are doubts after missing Tuesday's game with groin injuries.

Striker Paul McCallum is set to miss out as he struggles with a recurring knee problem while Sammy Moore is a doubt through illness.

Thierry Audel is an injury concern for Notts County.

The French defender is nursing a thigh problem following the midweek draw with Exeter and will be assessed before the Magpies travel.

Haydn Hollis has been overlooked by Notts boss Kevin Nolan for the last two matches but the defender will hope to come back into the squad, especially if Audel is absent.

Nolan, on his first return to the club who gave him his first management job, also has the likes of Shola Ameobi, Jonathan Forte and Jorge Grant pushing for starting places.
