O's wait on Mooney scans

Leyton Orient are sweating on top scorer David Mooney after he picked up an injury over the weekend.

The Irish striker scored his 18th goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win over former club Colchester, but he had to go off midway through the second half after suffering a rib injury. Boss Russell Slade will this week send Mooney for a scan to determine the extent of the damage and he could be a doubt for the forthcoming away games against Notts County and Port Vale. "He took a bit of a knock in the ribs," said Slade. "He's struggling a little bit. It's a little bit sore so we'll just have to see. He'll have to have a scan on it to see how he is."
