Oxford City could be without the experienced Mark Jones (pictured) for several weeks with a hamstring tear as they look to end their jinx on Windsor & Eton tomorrow.
The former Thame United midfielder who has been ever-present for the British Gas Business Southern League Division 1 South & West outfit this season, suffered the injury during last weekend's 4-0 home victory against Winchester City.
In addition, winger Jon Gardner is struggling with an ankle ligament strain and Ikechi Anya, is troubled by a hamstring injury.
"It's a blow to lose Mark," said player-manager Justin Merritt.
"That's both our main left-sided players injured. It leaves us a bit depleted."
Merritt is looking for his side to record their first win in three meetings against Windsor.
"We drew 2-2 with them in the league when they got a last-minute equaliser, and we played them in the Trophy at home and lost 1-0, so we know all about them.
"They are on a good run, so it's a tough one, but we're looking to get our first win against them."
Didcot Town are sweating on the fitness of midfielder Josh Mulvany ahead of their trip to Bracknell Town.
The ex-Oxford United youngster is doubtful after injuring ankle ligaments during training, as is defender Richard Peirson (groin).
Paul Powell is still out with a knee cartilege problem, which may need an operation to clear out the debris.
Keeper Michael Watkins, who had a trial at Wycombe, is set to decide on his future today after having talks with Oxford United boss Jim Smith.
Boss Stuart Peace said: "The victory at Slough lifted us to fourth and if we win at Bracknell that puts us in the mix.
"It sets us up for the game against the leaders Bridgwater nicely."
Abingdon United could be without five key players as they look to bounce back from their midweek FA Trophy replay at Maidstone at home to Goldalming.
Julian McCalmon is suspended, brothers Ryan and Jamie Brooks are at a wedding, Luke Holden is away, while Michaes Herbert faces a late test on a hamstring injury.
Although they lost 5-3 in Kent, manager Andy Slater was delighted with his players' application.
"The lads were magnificent. We have now played four games against Ryman League Premier sides and we have shown we can compete.
"Godalming is a great test of our character, particularly with the players we have out. We are down to the bare bones."
Banbury United boss Kieran Sullivan has been dealt a blow after former Puritans midfielder Darren Pond decided to stay at Oxford City.
Meanwhile, Banbury will be without Troy Bryan (hamstring), Stuart Bridges (knee), Murray Nicholls (holiday) as they look to make it five Premier Division games without defeat at home to Hitchin.
Ollie Stanbridge (thigh) is a doubt.
