Leyton Orient face a defensive headache this evening at Doncaster with Mathieu Baudry and Nathan Clarke both suspended.

Baudry was sent off during Saturday's 0-0 draw at home to MK Dons while captain Clarke picked up his fifth booking of the season.

It means Shane Lowry is likely to switch to centre-back with Elliot Omozusi poised to return to the defence. Jobi McAnuff is available for tonight's game after serving his one-match ban. 

Interim manager Kevin Nugent said: "It's going to be tough for us there but we're down to the bare bones anyway.

"We had seven first-team players out injured or unavailable and these two lads are not available for Doncaster so it's tough.

"But I think you've seen the spirit between the lads is there. If you're going to get yourselves out of trouble you need that spirit.

"It's not going to be perfect, beautiful football. It just does not work like that because you need to pick up points and build confidence and then you can start playing a bit more."

The O's are unbeaten away from home this season although a winless run at Brisbane Road means the side are one place above the relegation zone. 

Doncaster have been inconsistent this season and Paul Dickov's side are 14th in the table but only two points above Orient. 

The O's have gone eight games without beating Doncaster since a memorable 8-0 win over them back in 1997.
