Leyton Orient striker Wayne Gray is set to be fit for the start of the new season, despite suffering with a knee injury.

The 27-year-old suffered the injury at the end of last term and the O's had feared that Gray could miss the start of next term due to ligament damage.

However, O's boss Martin Ling told the Epping Guardian: "The scans were fairly positive because it seems that Wayne has only damaged the medial ligament, so should be back in time for pre-season.

"There is still some concern that if he overdoes it he could damage the cruciate, so we will be taking things nice and easy.

"But on the whole it is very positive news and it will be great to have him fit and ready for next season."
