Orient's Edmonds-Green suffers ACL injury

Rarmani Edmonds-Green has made nine appearances for Orient this season

Leyton Orient defender Rarmani Edmonds-Green is likely to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury.

The 26-year-old ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during the closing stages of Saturday's win over Doncaster Rovers.

Edmonds-Green has made nine appearances across all competitions for Orient this campaign who are 13th in League One.

"REG is a big character in our changing room and around the training ground, and we are all gutted for him," head coach Richie Wellens told the club website.

"He played a hugely important role for us in the second half of last season, having joined us in January, and it is now vitally important that we all support him.

"He has met with one of sport's leading knee surgeons and, once he has a spell of rest and his operation, we'll give him everything he needs to come back fitter and stronger."
