Howe are you fee-Ling?

Torquay boss Martin Ling is sweating over the fitness of Rene Howe ahead of their trip to Cheltenham.

The Gulls' top scorer limped out of last weekend's 3-2 defeat at Hereford after feeling the effects of a groin strain he picked up in training the previous day. But the club's recently-crowned player of the year is fighting to be fit after resuming training towards the end of the week. Should he miss out, fellow striker Ryan Jarvis is expected to deputise again as he did when he scored as a substitute against the Bulls. Midfielder Damon Lathrope, whose future has been the subject of much recent speculation, was also withdrawn at the interval in that fixture but should be available.
