Goal machine Norman Sylla faces a late fitness test before high-riding Banbury United take on lowly Newport IoW in the Dr Martens League Eastern Division at the Stadium on Saturday.

The Frenchman took his tally for the season to 26 when scoring twice during a 15-minute appearance as a substitute in Banbury's 4-2 win over Causeway United in the Birmingham Senior Cup on Tuesday.

But his back injury also flared up, forcing him to miss playing for Cheltenham Reserves against Bristol City Reserves on Wednesday.
