Leyton Orient have been dealt a blow in their bid to avoid an immediate return to League Two after loanee Gary Hooper suffered a knee injury in training.

An initial X-ray on the knee injury confirmed there was no break, but a later scan revealed a strain to his medial knee ligament.

The 19-year-old moved to Brisbane Road from Southend United in March and has scored two goals in three appearances for the O's.

Hooper, who was transferred from Grays Athletic to Roots Hall last summer, has started only two Championship games for Steve Tilson's side this term.
