Striker Jefferson Louis returns to contention for Mansfield's crucial derby clash against relegation rivals Notts County at Meadow Lane.Louis missed the defeat at Bury on Bank Holiday Monday as he was on international duty with the Dominican Republic.

Stags manager Paul Holland, in his first game since he was appointed as Billy Dearden's permanent successor, will be without Will Atkinson after the on-loan midfielder returned to Hull.

Second-bottom Mansfield are seven points adrift of County in the table and defeat against their rivals would be a huge psychological blow to their chances of survival.

Holland said: "It is a massive game for the football club. We are not even thinking about losing this fixture. I can't see any reason why we can't beat Notts County and eventually overtake them."
