Notts County captain Neal Bishop returns from suspension for the trip to Leyton Orient.

Bishop has served a two-match ban for the red card he received during the 5-2 home defeat to Sheffield United and he is expected to go straight back into the Notts midfield.
Manager Keith Curle hopes to have defender Damion Stewart (groin) and striker Dele Adebola (knee) available after injury.
However, Stephen Hunt (ankle) and Jonathan Forte (facial injury) will remain on the sidelines.
With Forte out and Adebola a doubt, Curle is considering giving teenage striker Tyrell Waite his big chance over the Easter period. Notts signed the 17-year-old from non-league neighbours Ilkeston two weeks ago.
"He has done well since he joined us and he can score goals and he is a threat," Curle said. "We are lacking out-and-out centre forwards with goalscoring ability, especially because we don't know the full extent of Dele's availability, so we might throw him into it and say 'now's your chance, go and take it'. Sometimes you throw players in and they blossom."
