Peltier shows promise for Terriers; Os wait on Chambers

Huddersfield defender Lee Peltier will face a late fitness test ahead of the visit of Leyton Orient. The 22-year-old suffered a knock to his hip in last week's away defeat to Charlton but should be fit for Saturday's tie. Terriers boss Lee Clark will likely be without two first team regulars - striker Robbie Simpson and defender Tom Clarke. The former is expected to stay sidelined having missed out on the Terriers last two games with a thigh problem. Clarke continues to recover from a knee injury which has kept him out of action for the past eight weeks.

Orient news

Os boss Geraint Williams will be hoping midfielder Adam Chambers passes a late fitness test for the trip to the Galpharm Stadium. Chambers, 28, has been sidelined for a month with a recurring calf problem but has shown promise for the reserves this week. Skipper Stephen Purches is in line for a starting berth having recovered from a fractured cheekbone. Goalkeeper Jamie Jones is a likely absentee having been knocked unconscious two-weeks ago - Glenn Morris should step in. Sean Thornton (knee) remains a long-term absentee.
