[Jack]

Leyton Orient's Adam Tann is recuperating after cancer surgery.

The defender was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had surgery to remove a tumour on Monday. He will know within a week whether he will require further treatment.

There is optimism that the 24-year-old will not need chemotherapy as the cancer was caught in its early stages.

Orient manager Martin Ling told the club's official website: "The most important issue at this moment is Adam's health and we wish him a speedy recovery.

"Adam has been told he should be positive because the success rate for overcoming this type of cancer is very, very high."
