Leyton Orient will be without midfielder Sean Thornton for the clash with Leicester City on Saturday.

25-year-old Thornton will watch from the sidelines as he serves a match suspension.

He was sent off during Orient's 1-0 defeat to Colcester for two yellow card offences, on December 28.

His absence could provide new signing Charlie Daniels with a place in the side, soon after his move from Tottenham Hotspur.

The 22-year-old made 24 league appearances for the O's during a loan spell last season.

Thornton will be eligible for the re-arranged FA Cup third round fixture against Sheffield Utd.
