Morecambe vs Mansfield Town - Morecambe squad set to be unchanged for Mansfield visit

Posted Friday, March 24, 2017 by PA

Morecambe look set to have the same squad for Saturday's Sky Bet League Two home clash with Mansfield as they did for their previous outing.

Back-up goalkeeper Danijel Nizic was unavailable for Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Accrington having been called up by Australia Under-23s, and remains so.

Midfielder Alex Kenyon had appeared close to a first-team return but after playing for the reserves last week his knee has flared up again, with that expected to delay things by at least another week.

Anthony Evans (ankle), who has missed the last two games, is still sidelined.

Krystian Pearce could be in contention for Mansfield but Stags skipper Lee Collins will miss out.

Pearce was forced off with an injury during the first half of the home win against Carlisle but it is hoped he will train on Friday and travel to the north west.

Fellow defender Collins should be back in contention for Exeter's visit to Field Mill on April 1.

Stags boss Steve Evans will not make many changes from the Carlisle game as he looks to maintain Mansfield's play-off challenge, but the likes of Alfie Potter, James Baxendale, Kyle Howkins, Yoann Arquin and Jamie McGuire are options.
