Mansfield without suspended Krystian Pearce for Accrington clash
Posted Thursday, March 29, 2018 by PA
Mansfield will be without the suspended Krystian Pearce for Friday’s League Two visit of Accrington.
The defender was sent off in last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Forest Green which left the Stags without a win since February 17.
Mansfield have slipped to seventh in the table following that poor run, with manager David Flitcroft still striving for his first victory.
Pearce’s absence may be covered by Zander Diamond’s return to fitness following a hamstring issue, while Jacob Mellis (ankle) could also return.
Unlike their hosts, Accrington are enjoying a fine run of form having won 12 of their last 14 games to move up to second.
Stanley have named the same starting XI for their previous four games and could remain unchanged for the trip to Field Mill.
John Coleman’s side have not played since beating Forest Green 3-1 on March 17 but their string of victories has propelled them into the automatic promotion fight.
The visitors sit level on points with leaders Luton with the advantage of two games in hand over the Hatters.
