Lisbie a doubt for Orient

Leyton Orient will check on Kevin Lisbie ahead of the visit of Walsall.

Veteran striker Lisbie is a doubt after suffering a shoulder injury during the first half of Tuesday night's goalless draw at Bristol City.

Darius Henderson replaced Lisbie at Ashton Gate but Chris Dagnall could also come into the reckoning for the first time this season having resumed training after an ankle injury.

Another forward, Shaun Batt, is set to miss out again with a calf problem.

James O'Connor will return for Walsall after missing the last two games with a groin injury.

The defender was sidelined for Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Yeovil and Saturday's 0-0 draw with Bradford but has been passed fit for the Brisbane Road trip.

But Sam Mantom (knee), James Chambers (hamstring) and Jordan Cook and Ben Purkiss (both ankle) are all out as the Saddlers look for their first win in Sky Bet League One this season.

Winger Anthony Forde could make his full debut after two substitute outings for the Saddlers following his move from Wolves this month.
