Team news ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet League 2 clash between AFC Wimbledon and Leyton Orient.

AFC Wimbledon will hope to have midfielder Jake Reeves back for their crunch promotion clash with Leyton Orient in League 2 on Saturday.

Reeves missed the 2-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday with a hamstring injury but is close to recovery and has an outside chance of playing this weekend.

Defender Jon Meades, however, is unlikely to make it after coming off against Dagenham with an ankle problem while on-loan defender Karleigh Osborne remains out with a knee injury.

Wimbledon are seventh, four points inside the play-offs with a game in hand over Wycombe below them.

Orient winger Jobi McAnuff will miss the contest with a calf injury while Kevin Nolan is a doubt as he is struggling with an ankle problem.

Sammy Moore returned from illness to take his place on the bench for the defeat at home to Plymouth on Tuesday and is likely to be included again.

Paul McCallum and Dean Cox, however, both remain sidelined with knee injuries.

Orient's hopes of reaching the play-offs look bleak as they sit five points adrift, having won only once in their last six matches.
