The Stags are back on the road this Saturday as they travel to face Cheltenham Town in Sky Bet League Two (3pm). Here’s all you need to know ahead of the match…
The club confirmed on Thursday afternoon that defender Mal Benning has tested positive for COVID-19 and will therefore miss Saturday's game, as he conducts his ten-day self-isolation period.
Mansfield will also be without wing-back Joe Riley and midfielder Ollie Clarke for the match, as the pair continue their recoveries from respective knee and calf injuries.
For the hosts, Elliot Bonds, Dan Bowry and Sean Long are doubts.
The Stags head into Saturday’s game having earned a hard-fought point away at Morecambe on Tuesday evening.
After going behind early on, midfielder Harry Charsley’s clever finish saw the amber and blue take a point back to Nottinghamshire.
Cheltenham go into Saturday’s game sitting third in the table after five wins and two defeats from their opening seven fixtures.
Last time out, the Robins recorded a 1-0 win over Scunthorpe United on Tuesday evening, with Reuben Reid grabbing the goal.
The referee for Saturday’s game will be Neil Hair, assisted by Louis Marks and John Flynn. The fourth official will be Ollie Williams.
Mr. Hair last took charge of a Stags’ fixture in our 2-1 defeat to Salford in October 2019.
