Leyton Orient have confirmed that winger Jordan Graham ruptured the patella tendon in his left knee during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Huddersfield Town.

The 29-year-old, who the club say will be unable to play for an "extended period", was out of action for 10 months with a similar injury before returning to action in September.

on the League One club's website, Graham said: "As you can imagine, my heart is hurting severely right now.

"I wanted to return and give the club a season of magic after working so hard for the last 12 months. Unfortunately, I've been dealt a different road.

"But my mindset will remain the same. I'll work as hard as I possibly can to become a better version of myself on and off the pitch."

Orient head coach Richie Wellens added: "We are all so gutted for Jordan. To suffer a repeat of the same injury that he had almost exactly 12 months ago is devastating.

"It is so important that we as a club, and the wider Leyton Orient community, rally behind Jordan in these next few months."
