Forest Green vs Mansfield preview

Forest Green look like they will have an unchanged squad against fellow League Two promotion hopefuls Mansfield.

Midfield is an area that Rovers manager Mark Cooper is looking to keep fresh and that could mean a recall for Paul Digby, who was a substitute for the win at Stevenage on Saturday.

Recent signing Udoka Godwin-Malife, an 18-year-old defender from Oxford City, could be included in the squad for the first time. Midfielder Dayle Grubb is still a couple of weeks away from making his comeback after a knee injury.

Mansfield, second in the table and four points ahead of Forest Green, will check on the fitness of Tyler Walker and Neal Bishop. Striker Walker and midfielder Bishop both came off nursing knocks late on in the home victory against Tranmere at the weekend but they are expected to start the game at the New Lawn.

The Stags signed wing-back Gethin Jones on loan from Fleetwood on Monday but it remains to be seen whether the paperwork was completed in time for him to be involved. Forwards Alex MacDonald (knee) and Craig Davies (ankle) and defender David Mirfin (knee) are continuing their recovery from injuries and remain unavailable.
