Leyton Orient are set to recall goalkeeper Alex Cisak for their crucial home game with struggling York City tomorrow.
The O's are clinging onto a place in the top seven of League Two after a run of just two wins in 12 matches.
Their latest defeat came at Hartlepool United last weekend which piled the pressure on head coach Ian Hendon.
Cisak has been away on international duty with Australia but should return to the side in place of Charlie Grainger tomorrow.
Their opponents have lost their last five games in all competitions with new boss Jackie McNamara tasked with lifting a side just one place above the relegation zone.
York have a decent record at Brisbane Road having gone six games unbeaten dating back to 1993.
While Orient remain in the play-off spots, the O’s are a distant 12 points behind leaders Plymouth and Hendon acknowledges his side need to get back on track.
He said: “I’ve not looked at the table yet but obviously getting a win would have helped. We are in and around it but we need to start winning games of football if we are going to keep challenging.”
