Stags welcome Macclesfield Town to One Call Stadium on Saturday for our latest clash in Sky Bet League Two (3pm kick-off). Here's all you need to know ahead of the match...
Stags will be without defender Hayden White, who suffered a broken leg in the recent victory over Colchester.
Alex MacDonald will miss out as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
Goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik has been ruled out for the season with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, so will miss out.
Striker Craig Davies, who has an ankle injury, will also be absent.
For the Silkmen, defender James Pearson will miss out, with midfielder Koby Arthur a doubt.
Stags are unbeaten in their last four outings, and have won three of them. Our last game came against Forest Green Rovers at The New Lawn, with the entertaining contest ending 1-1. Attacking midfielder Jorge Grant scored Mansfield's only goal of the game.
Macclesfield were beaten 3-2 by Cheltenham in their last game, despite leading 2-0 in the match. In the two games prior to that, they recorded two wins, against Oldham and Grimsby respectively.
