Berry to miss out as Luton meet Mansfield

Luton take on Mansfield without Luke Berry after the midfielder suffered an horrific injury at Colchester on Friday.

Berry dislocated his left ankle and fractured his fibula in the 2-1 defeat after a collision with Tom Lapslie.

He will see a consultant on Tuesday as he begins what could be a long road to recovery and will certainly not feature again this season.

Alan McCormack is poised to return in the holding midfield role after sitting out the Colchester clash, while England Under-19 international Flynn Downes is also in contention.

Mansfield will have to judge whether captain Zander Diamond is fit enough to continue after he returned from injury against Accrington on Good Friday.

Diamond played the full 90 minutes but admitted the game “tested his reserves” with his side down to 10 men and a second game in four days could prove to be a tough ask.

Fellow central defender Krystian Pearce is available after serving a one-match ban against Stanley but David Mirfin (knee) remains sidelined.

The game is likely to come too soon for top scorer Danny Rose after his recent injury against Forest Green.
