Cole Kpekawa returns to Orient frame for Yeovil clash

Cole Kpekawa is set to return to the Leyton Orient line-up for the visit of Yeovil.

The on-loan defender was ineligible for the FA Cup tie with Scunthorpe but, after extending his stint at Brisbane Road by a further month, should start in the O's defence.

Manager Ian Hendon switched to a midfield diamond for the second-round replay defeat in midweek and will have to decide if the system is worth persevering with.

Blair Turgott and John Marquis are also pushing for returns to the starting XI as the O's chase a first win in six games.

Darren Way's struggling Yeovil side head into the match on the back of a disappointing run which has seen them win just one of their last 17 League Two matches.

The Glovers sit second bottom with just two wins all season but Way is confident their fighting spirit will help in their battle against the drop.

He told www.ytfc.net: "Every team is fighting for points and every point matters, and that fighting spirit will keep us up. It may be small marginal gains but we have to make sure we keep fighting for it this year because there's so much to play for."

Way hopes to have Francois Zoko available after the striker, who joined the club last month, netted his first two goals late on in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Barnet.
