Next up for the Stags is a Friday night home match against Colchester United in Sky Bet League Two (7pm). Here’s all you need to know ahead of the match…
Midfielder George Maris is likely to miss the game, following his rib injury suffered in Saturday’s match away at Forest Green Rovers.
Long-term absentee Joe Riley is continuing his recovery from an ACL injury and will therefore miss Friday’s fixture.
For the U’s, Callum Harriott will miss out, while Tom Lapslie and Ben Stevenson are doubts.
The Stags made it three consecutive away wins on Saturday with their 2-1 win at Forest Green, stretching their unbeaten run to five matches.
Colchester sit seventh in the league standings heading into Friday’s match, following a strong start to their campaign. Last time out, they recorded a 2-1 win at home to Leyton Orient on Saturday.
We last faced the U’s in November 2019, and although defender Ryan Sweeney and attacking midfielder Omari Sterling-James found themselves on the scoresheet, the Stags succumbed to a 3-2 home loss.
Referee Benjamin Speedie will take charge of Friday’s fixture, assisted by Conor Brown and Ravel Cheosiaua. The fourth official will be Abbas Khan.
This will be the first competitive fixture involving the Stags that Mr. Speedie will take charge of.
