Duo set for Stevenage return

Jerome Okimo and Chris Whelpdale could return to the Stevenage line-up for the Sky Bet League Two clash with Leyton Orient.

Okimo pulled up in the warm-up prior to the Boxing Day defeat at Crawley and midfielder Whelpdale hobbled off early in the game and both missed Monday's 3-1 defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge.

Dean Wells is also pushing for a place in the team after overcoming a groin injury.

Fraser Franks (knee) and Dean Parrett (hamstring) are still long-term absentees and Ben Kennedy is still away from the club on extended rest.

Leyton Orient manager Ian Hendon may welcome Lloyd James back into the starting XI after he overcame an ankle problem.

James sustained the injury against Yeovil on Boxing Day and did not feature in their game against Bristol Rovers on Monday.

Defender Mathieu Baudry is unavailable as he serves the second match of a three-game suspension for his red card against Portsmouth.

Jack Payne (shin) also remains a doubt despite his injury not being as serious as first feared.
