Morecambe in good health ahead of Mansfield encounter

Morecambe look set to have almost a full complement of players available for Saturday’s Sky Bet League Two clash with Mansfield at the Globe Arena.

The Shrimps came through Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Newport apparently unscathed.

With his partner due to give birth, forward Vadaine Oliver missed the trip to south Wales, but on Friday morning the expectation was that he will be involved at the weekend.

The only definite absentee is Reece Deakin, who has been recovering from a broken leg.

Mansfield will be without the suspended Hayden White and the injured Jacob Mellis.

Right-back White was sent off during the dramatic home win against Cheltenham last weekend and he must now serve a three-match ban.

Mellis suffered a hamstring injury in that 3-2 victory and the midfielder will be out for around three weeks after scans revealed a slight tear.

Central defender David Mirfin continues his recovery from a knee problem.
