James Perch will miss out for Mansfield ahead of their meeting with Swindon.

The defender was dismissed after being shown a second yellow card against Newport in midweek and sits out through suspension.

Stephen McLaughlin could miss out again with a knee problem.

Key striker Rhys Oates is still sidelined for the Stags.

Swindon left-back Fraser Blake-Tracy is doubtful for the trip north.

Blake-Tracy was forced off in the midweek draw at Bradford following a clash of heads with Bantams winger Dion Pereira in which he suffered a cut to his head and a black eye.

The versatile Ellis Iandolo is expected to slot in at left-back in Blake-Tracy’s absence.

Captain Angus MacDonald remains sidelined with a collarbone injury, while full-back Reece Devine is also out with a minor injury.
