No new injury problems for Mansfield against Swindon

Posted Thursday, December 27, 2018 by PA

Mansfield boss David Flitcroft has no new injury worries ahead of his side’s game against Swindon at the One Call Stadium on Saturday.

Flitcroft has kept the same starting line-up for the previous three matches but could make changes with the frequency of games during the festive period.

Danny Rose could be pushing for a start, after playing 20 minutes against Stevenage and being named on the bench for the Stags’ Boxing Day clash against Bury.

Alex MacDonald (knee), Craig Davies (ankle), David Mirfin and Bobby Olejnik (both knee) complete the injury list.

Steven Alzate remains doubtful for Swindon boss Richie Wellens and was not named in the squad for the Boxing Day game against Northampton.

The midfielder made a substitute appearance against Cheltenham but the manager said he has been struggling with a back injury and was unable to train.

Marc Richards could feature after being named on the bench against Northampton while Toumani Diagouraga is unlikely to be available after tearing a thigh muscle in October.

A win for Swindon would put them closer to the play-off places in the Sky Bet League Two as the Robins search for their first win for three games.
