The Stags take on Grimsby Town this Saturday in Sky Bet League Two (3pm). Here’s all you need to know ahead of the fixture…
Midfielders George Lapslie and George Maris remain doubts for the fixture.
Right-back Joe Riley is a long-term absentee and will miss out.
Grimsby will be without Mansfield loanee Rollin Menayese, who is not eligible to face his parent club.
The Stags made it three home matches without defeat with Tuesday evening’s 1-1 draw with Carlisle United.
Mansfield have enjoyed home comforts of late, having recently been victorious over high-flyers Cheltenham and Morecambe at One Call Stadium.
Grimsby earned a good point against promotion hopefuls Tranmere Rovers on Wednesday evening, stretching their run of draws to three games.
We last faced Grimsby Town back in December 2020, a 1-1 draw at Blundell Park.
Ira Jackson Jr. had put Grimsby ahead just after the hour, but the Mariners had their lead extinguished by a Nicky Maynard penalty just minutes later.
The referee for Saturday’s match will be John Busby, assisted by Nicholas Cooper and Andrew Aylott. The fourth official will be Christopher Pollard.
Mr. Busby last took charge of a Mansfield fixture in our 1-0 loss to Cheltenham in February 2020.
