Under-23s preview: Mansfield Town (A)

4 November 2019

The Iron's Under-23s side make a return to Central League Cup action when they visit Mansfield Town on Tuesday (2pm kick-off).

The game will be played at the Radford and Hymas Academy, with entry to the match free of charge, and can be found at the following address: The RH Academy, Woburn Lane, Mansfield, NG19 7RT. We will have live text coverage on our Twitter feed, which can be accessed by clicking here, while there will be a report and reaction afterwards.

SCENE-SETTER

The Iron's Under-23 side's most recent game was last Tuesday, when they defeated Walsall Reserves 4-1 in the Central League.

Jordan Hallam notched in the first-half, with John McAtee, Jack Lambert and George Hornshaw getting themselves on the scoresheet in the second period at Birkdale Park.

Hallam will miss the next week or two with a hamstring injury sustained late on in that game, while Adam Kelsey (finger) and Omar Sanyang (ankle) missed out last week.

Reon Potts played 45 minutes last week as he returned from an illness he suffered the previous week.

Elsewhere, United first team boss Paul Hurst may opt to give game time to players who have been on the fringes of the side in recent weeks.

The Under-18s are in action at Notts County in the FA Youth Cup first round on Tuesday evening so those players won't be available for selection.

LAST LINE-UP (v Walsall Reserves - 29.10.19)

IRON: Collins, Rowe, O’Malley, Hornshaw (Shrimpton, 86), Cummings (Barks, 86), Bedeau, Pugh (Lambert, 60), McAtee, Potts (Jessop, 45), Hallam (Wilson, 73), Butroid.
