Mansfield Town welcome Rotherham United to One Call Stadium on Saturday for their final pre-season friendly before the 2018-19 Sky Bet League Two campaign begins. Here's all you need to know ahead of the clash...

Striker Danny Rose will again miss out as he continues his recovery from a toe injury.

Defensive duo Zander Diamond and David Mirfin will also be absent as they continue their recoveries from respective long-term back and knee injuries.

Millers' boss Paul Warne has the luxury of being able to pick from a full-strength squad for Saturday's clash.

The referee for Saturday's game will be Darren England, assisted by Steve Meredith and Nigel Smith. The fourth official will be Stuart Richardson.

Mr. England last took charge of a Stags' game on Boxing Day last year, in our 1-1 draw away to Grimsby Town.
