MICHAEL SYMES and Martin Rowlands will return to the O’s squad for Saturday’s trip to Crewe Alexandra.

Symes sat out Tuesday’s win over Yeovil with a hamstring complaint, while Rowlands was unavailable due to illness.

But the pair have now recovered and travelled north with the rest of the Londoners’ squad on Friday morning.

Meanwhile, Ryan Brunt and Lee Cook missed part of training on Thursday with minor problems but Russell Slade is hopeful they will be available for selection at Gresty Road.

He said: “Brunty and Cookie both pulled out of training on Thursday so we have a couple of doubts, but I’ll leave it to the last minute.

“We’ll train today and make our minds up from there.”
