Oduro gets final Swindon chance

Malpas will make a decision after the FC Zlin match

Swindon trialist Akwasi Oduro will get a final chance to impress boss Maurice Malpas before a decision is made on his future at the club.

The Ghanaian defender starts the friendly against FC Zlin in Austria on Tuesday before heading back to England.

"We will make our mind up on him after the game," Malpas told the club's website. "I am looking for someone who is better than Jamie Vincent."

He added: "We need someone to put a bit of pressure on the left-back position."

Lee Peacock has been ruled out of the game, as well as Friday's friendly at home to FA Cup winners Portsmouth.

The striker pulled out of training on Monday with an recurrence of his achilles problem.

"He has to do a lot of ball work before he can start playing in matches," said Malpas. "If we throw him into matches he is going to get little niggles."

Craig Easton will sit out the game after turning his ankle in training.
