Muggleton worry for Mansfield

Fri 14 Mar, 03:45 PM


Veteran goalkeeper Carl Muggleton is the only fresh injury doubt for Mansfield ahead of their trip to Valley Parade to take on Bradford.Muggleton suffered a groin strain and had to be substituted after just 34 minutes of the Stags 1-0 home defeat to Hereford in midweek.

Caretaker manager Paul Holland, who will take charge of the team for the second time following Billy Dearden's departure, will make a late decision on Muggleton's fitness.

If the 39-year-old does not make it, Jason White will start a league game for the first time since August 25.

Keith Briggs should return to contention after missing the Hereford defeat with a hamstring problem.

Meanwhile, fellow defender Martin McIntosh is not expected to play again this season. The Scot has been sidelined since the turn of the year with a troublesome calf complaint.
