Exeter City vs Mansfield Town - No new injury worries for Exeter
Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 by PA
Play-off chasing Exeter head into the Sky Bet League Two clash at home to Mansfield without any new injury or suspension concerns.
David Wheeler landed awkwardly after coming on as a substitute in Saturday's goalless draw against Northampton, which left City two points adrift of the top seven, but should be fine.
Jamie McAllister, normally deployed at left-back or centre-half, is expected to continue at right-back having played the last three games there during which time the Grecians have conceded just once.
Winger Lee Holmes remains out, as does veteran midfielder Matt Oakley (back), while striker Clinton Morrison has overcome a groin problem and might make the bench.
Mansfield manager Adam Murray is waiting on the fitness of a couple of unnamed players who are nursing tight hamstrings following the 5-0 derby defeat of Notts County on Saturday.
After such a comprehensive victory, Murray is unlikely to want to make too many changes to his team as he goes in search of the win which would prolong the Stags' hopes of gatecrashing the play-offs.
Mitchell Rose impressed as a 54th-minute substitute at the weekend, completing the scoring against the Magpies, and he could come into Murray's thinking, while the likes of Colin Daniel, Adi Yussuf and Jamie McGuire will also be hoping for recalls.
Defender Krystian Pearce will serve the final game of a three-match suspension while midfielder Chris Clements continues to struggle with a hamstring injury.
