Christian Doidge hopeful of Forest Green return
Posted Friday, March 23, 2018 by PA
Forest Green boss Mark Cooper hopes to have top-scorer Christian Doidge back for the Sky Bet League Two clash with Mansfield.
Striker Doidge, who has scored 21 goals in all competitions, has missed Rovers’ last three games with an ankle problem but could be fit to return.
Defender Dan Wishart also faces a late fitness test having missed the midweek defeat at Crewe.
Cooper may opt to make wholesale changes against the Stags after criticising his team for their performance at Gresty Road.
Mansfield will give late fitness tests to Zander Diamond, Alfie Potter and Jacob Mellis.
Defender Diamond has been sidelined with a hamstring problem, while Potter has a knock and fellow midfielder Mellis has been struggling with an ankle issue.
Midfielder Paul Digby and forward Lee Angol are among the players pushing for starts after coming off the bench against Notts County last weekend.
Centre-back David Mirfin (knee) remains sidelined.
