Leyton Orient depleted for visit of Blackpool

Leyton Orient will be without four players for the visit of Blackpool in Sky Bet League Two on Saturday.

Defender Jens Janse is out with a shoulder injury while midfielder Ulrich Nnomo is sidelined with an ankle problem.

Harry Cornick, who is on loan from Bournemouth, is struggling with a groin strain and Liam Kelly has not yet recovered from a hamstring injury.

Striker Jay Simpson is expected to start for the O's up front, after scoring his first two goals of the season in a 3-0 win at Colchester last weekend.

Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer expects to have a fully-fit squad available which will enable Kyle Vassell and Jamille Matt to build on their promising partnership.

The pair were both on target against Notts County last weekend. Vassell has become the first Blackpool player to hit 10 goals at this stage of the season since Tom Ince in 2012 while Matt has scored goals in each of his last two appearances.

"Danny Philliskirk had a bit of illness at the beginning of the week but we're at that time where we're going to get little bugs and illnesses like that," Bowyer told www.blackpoolfc.co.uk

"He's been back in training today so we're fully fit."
