On-loan Cheltenham midfielder Frankie Artus has been given permission by Bristol City to take part in Saturday's FA Cup first round game.

The Robins' face a difficult trip south to face fellow League Two strugglers Torquay, and Artus' availability will be a massive positive for the Gloucestershire club.

Artus has featured in seven games for Cheltenham so far this season, and played for just under an hour of Saturday's heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Crewe.

Town are currently on a run of one win in 13 games, and will hope a break from league action will see a reverse in their fortunes.
