HEAVY snowfall has forced Orient to train indoors.
The grass pitch at the club’s Newbury Park training ground is currently under snow.
It means the squad has relocated to a nearby five-a-side centre.
Boss Russell Slade insisted preparations are not badly disrupted for Sunday’s home game with MK Dons.
But the situation is far from ideal, he admitted.
“We are indoors at the minute and there’s a variety of things we can do," he said.
“But nothing is a substitute for playing on grass, if you ask coaching staff.
“It’s all different, from the roll of the ball to the impact of the surface on joints,” Slade told Guardian Series Sport.
