Northampton Town vs Leyton Orient preview - Paul Corry doubtful for visit Leyton Orient

Posted Friday, September 25, 2015 by PA

Northampton midfielder Paul Corry is doubtful for the visit of Sky Bet League Two leaders Leyton Orient.

The 24-year-old, who has started just one match this season, twisted his knee in training this week and has had a scan to determine the damage.

Joel Byrom sat out training earlier in the week to rest a slight groin strain but is expected to be fit, while captain Marc Richards has recovered from a side strain.

Rod McDonald returns after illness while fellow defender Zander Diamond is set to resume full training on Monday after a dead leg but Jason Taylor remains suspended.

Orient striker Ollie Palmer is pushing hard for his first league start with the club.

The summer signing has been a regular from the bench but pressed his case for promotion with a man-of-the-match display as a second-half replacement against Wycombe last week.

Liverpool loanee Joe Maguire is also awaiting his first league appearance, having only managed one Johnstone's Paint Trophy outing since arriving.

In midfield Blair Turgott is hoping for a recall to the starting side
