Sunderland midfielder set for fitness test after picking up another niggling injury

The 23-year-old has made a strong impression with the League Two side – whom he joined on a half-season loan – having netted three times already.

But he has missed the Mariners’ last two outings with a minor injury and is set to undergo a fitness test to determine whether he can be involved against Cheltenham Town.

Manager Michael Jolley remains optimistic that he could play a part.

“We need to wait and see,” he said.

“We will give him as long as we can and we will check on him tomorrow [Friday] and make a decision closer to the game on Saturday.”

Robson had a minor injury when he joined Grimsby on deadline day, but has featured nine times since returning to action.
