Mansfield will run the rule over Kane Hemmings ahead of Crawley clash

Mansfield will check on the fitness of Kane Hemmings as they look to sneak into the play-offs with a home victory against Crawley.

Hemmings has been nursing a slight thigh injury following last weekend’s win at Yeovil but Stags boss David Flitcroft is hopeful the striker will be available.

Hayden White and Ricky Miller are both making good progress as they recover from hamstring injuries. They could be named on the bench but Flitcroft has said neither will be risked if there is any doubt.

Mansfield go into the game three points adrift of the play-off places. The Stags must win to have any chance of prolonging their season and  hope that either Lincoln or Coventry lose their home matches.

Crawley boss Harry Kewell has a full squad to choose from.

Karlan Ahearne-Grant made his return from a thigh injury against Crewe and the on-loan Charlton striker came through the full 90 minutes with no ill effects.

Mark Randall, Dannie Bulman, Moussa Sanoh and Panutche Camara will all be pushing for recalls after dropping out of the starting line-up for the home defeat to the Alex last weekend.

Crawley will look to end the campaign with only a second victory in 12 games.
