Stevenage vs Mansfield preview - No new worries for Stevenage ahead of Mansfield clash

Posted Tuesday, September 29, 2015 by PA

Stevenage have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of Mansfield.

Boro boss Teddy Sheringham acquired young winger Kenny McEvoy on loan from Tottenham last week and he may be handed his first start after coming on as a substitute in the last-gasp defeat at Cambridge.

Ben Kennedy, back in training following hip surgery, is getting closer to a return but this game may come too soon for the striker.

It remains to be seen whether defender Dale Gorman, recently troubled by a back problem, is able to feature, while midfielder David McAllister and striker Adam Marriott (both knee) are definitely out.

Mansfield captain Nicky Hunt comes back into the reckoning for the clash.

The experienced defender missed the goalless draw with Plymouth on Saturday through suspension while Mitchell Rose received his fifth yellow card of the season during the stalemate and must serve a one-match ban.

Stags boss Adam Murray has no new injury problems but midfielder Chris Clements (groin) will miss out at the Lamex Stadium while Corbin Shires is still recovering from a virus.

Striker Chris Beardsley however is back in training following a shin injury so could be in contention for a return to the squad.
