Colchester United are hoping that Elliot Lee will be available again for their home game against Burton Albion on Saturday.

The on-loan West Ham United forward missed the U's 1-1 draw with Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday night, after picking up an injury in their 4-1 home loss against Peterborough United, last weekend.

Lee has been in excellent form for Colchester on the left flank.

But U's boss Kevin Keen says he was pleased with the performance of Lee's replacement Macauley Bonne, at Gresty Road.

Keen said: “Elliot picked up a knock at the end of the game last Saturday and he didn’t travel.

“Elliot has been very, very good for us since he’s come into the team and started playing that role on the left, he’s been excellent.

“Macca did really well and I thought that he was unfortunate in the first half with his (deflected) strike that I thought was going in.

“He also works very, very hard and I thought he did alright.”
