Mansfield Town

Paul Cox has been dealt a blow by the news that both Anthony Howell and Chris Clements will miss tomorrow's clash at home to Lincoln City.

The midfielders clashed heads in an innocuous training ground incident this morning. Howell's injury required seven stitches while Clements received a deep cut to the nose.

It now takes the total number of injured players to nine, with the above duo now joining the following players in the physio's room: Alan Marriott, Ross Dyer, Jamie Hand. Nick Wright, Luke Jones, John Thompson, Exodus Geohaghon.  

In better news, midfielder Gary Roberts has resumed light training.
