Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade admits his side will miss Dean Cox as the midfielder recovers from a knee injury.

Former Brighton playmaker Cox faces four weeks on the sidelines after suffering the knock.

The 27-year-old is Orient's top scorer this season with seven goals and, despite his diminutive stature, he leaves a big hole to fill.

"He's a key player for us because he can unlock teams and we are going to miss him for sure in the short-term," said Slade.
