Mkandawire suffers another injury

Tamika Mkandawire faces missing a couple of games for Leyton Orient as a scan has revealed a slight tear of his groin. The former Hereford United captain had a hernia operation near the end of last season.

“Tam has been struggling again with his groin so we sent him for scans," said manager Martin Ling.

“They have revealed a slight tear, although the good news is that it isn't related to the operation he has just had.

“We are not sure exactly what has caused this latest problem, but it maybe a case of where he might of been trying to overcompensate in a certain area because of the original injury.

“The bad blow is that he could be out now for between ten days and two weeks, which is a massive loss to us but hopefully this time we can resolve matters once and for all.”

Mkandawire played against Hereford United on the opening day of the season.
