Mansfield set to welcome back key men against Newport
Posted Monday, February 12, 2018 by PA
Mansfield are boosted by the return of three key players as they prepare for the visit of Newport.
Captain Zander Diamond, fellow defender Hayden White and midfielder Jacob Mellis all trained on Sunday and are back in contention.
It means that centre-half David Mirfin is the only injury absentee for the Stags as he continues his recovery from a knee operation.
The likes of Paul Digby, Alfie Potter, Jimmy Spencer, Lee Angol and Ricky Miller are all vying for recalls following the defeat at Swindon on Saturday.
Newport’s veteran striker Paul Hayes misses the Sky Bet League Two game with a sore groin.
But central defender Ben White is available after being troubled by a thigh problem in recent weeks.
Skipper David Pipe is also fit after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury in the 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Tottenham last Wednesday.
Pipe would probably have missed Saturday’s postponed home game against Forest Green.
