Leyton Orient do not yet know whether captain Stephen Dawson will be fit to face Swansea in the FA Cup this weekend.

The influential midfielder limped off after taking a heavy whack to the leg during the first half of Tuesday night's draw against MK Dons. "It was quite a bad dead leg that Stephen got," said assistant boss Kevin Nugent. "It would have to be a bad one to get him off the pitch because he's that kind of character, and we don't know what the outlook for the weekend is yet."
