Next up for the Stags is an Emirates FA Cup Second Round clash with Sky Bet League One side Shrewsbury Town at Montgomery Waters Meadow on Saturday 30 November (kick-off 3pm). Here’s all you need to know ahead of the fixture…
Midfielder Neal Bishop could be in contention having returned to training earlier this week following tonsillitis and a back issue.
Both Danny Rose (hamstring) and Hayden White (leg) will not feature due to injury although the latter is just a week away from a return to the training pitch.
Frontman Craig Davies will also miss out as he continues to feature for the reserves ahead of an anticipated return to the first team in the next few weeks.
The Stags come into the game off-the-back of a 1-0 defeat to Sky Bet League Two leaders Swindon Town. They progressed to the Emirates FA Cup second round with victory over Chorley.
Shrewsbury were also beaten on their most recent outing, losing 4-3 to Bristol Rovers. They made it to this stage of the FA Cup following a 1-0 win against Bradford City in a replay.
We last faced the Shrews at back in April 2015 at One Call Stadium with the visitors winning by a goal-to-nil before going on to earn promotion to Sky Bet League One.
The referee for Saturday’s game will be Andy Haines, assisted by Steven Rushton and Conor Brown. Matthew Smith is the fourth official.
Mr. Haines last took charge of a Mansfield fixture earlier this season, as the Stags recorded a 2-1 victory at Walsall.
