O's fitness worry over Purches
Purches had to be substituted early on in the 2-1 defeat at Stockport after being on the receiving end of a bad challenge from Michael Rose.
Rose escaped punishment from referee Andy Haines, and the O's fear the defender will face a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a fractured cheekbone.
"Stephen went off to hospital and it looks as though he might have a crack in his cheekbone," Williams told the club's official website.
"We hope it's not too bad, but any kind of bang in that area isn't good at all."
The news comes as a blow to Orient, who have won just one of their opening eight matches and languish in the League One relegation zone.
