Boss Nigel Clough confirmed that winger Stephen McLaughlin is unlikely to feature on Wednesday, following the ankle injury he suffered at the weekend.

Defender James Perch was absent from Sunday's Emirates FA Cup win over Dagenham & Redbridge, and will continue to be assessed ahead of our midweek clash with the U's.

Wing-back Joe Riley is a long-term absentee and will miss Wednesday's game.

Mansfield returned to winning ways at the weekend with a dramatic 2-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge in the Emirates FA Cup.

Striker Nicky Maynard netted in the 122nd minute of the tie to set up a Third Round clash between the Stags and Cheltenham Town.

Sunday's victory means it is just one loss in Mansfield's previous eight outings.

Cambridge United have enjoyed a superb season so far in Sky Bet League Two, sitting third in the table and boasting the joint-best scoring record in the division.
