Carlisle United have two long-term absentees, with neither player set to appear again this season.
Midfielder Jason Kennedy underwent a pelvic operation last month, but the club revealed last week that the 31-year-old will go under the knife again next month, with the recovery period expected to be 12 months.
Influential wideman Nicky Adams was also ruled out for the season when he picked up a cruciate knee ligament injury last month.
Stags' excellent 2-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday extended their superb run of form to just one defeat in 17 games in all competitions.
