The Stags welcome Carlisle United to One Call Stadium on Tuesday evening for their latest Sky Bet League Two fixture (7pm kick-off). Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game…
Midfielders George Lapslie and George Maris are doubts for the fixture, as revealed by boss Nigel Clough in Monday’s news conference.
Captain Ollie Clarke may be rested for the game, but goalkeeper Aidan Stone could make a return to the squad.
Right-back Joe Riley is a long-term absentee for the Stags.
Carlisle will likely be without forward Joshua Kayode for the match.
The Stags were left frustrated on Saturday after being denied a point away at Crawley by a late James Tilley strike.
The weekend’s defeat did follow last Tuesday’s remarkable 3-1 home win over league leaders Cheltenham, however.
The Cumbrians made a return to winning ways on Saturday with their 3-1 home victory over Bradford City.
Their result against the Bantams leaves them 12th in the table, seven points ahead of the Stags, who are 16th.
Tuesday’s visitors came out on top the last time the two sides met, with Carlisle securing a 1-0 win at Brunton Park.
Omari Patrick netted the game’s only goal in front of 2,000 fans in Cumbria.
The referee for Tuesday’s match will be Michael Salisbury, assisted by Rob Smith and James Wilson. The fourth official will be Akil Howson.
Mr. Salisbury last took charge of a Mansfield fixture in our 3-1 defeat to Oldham Athletic in January 2020.
