Ball will be in D'Laryea's court on return
Published Date:

Jon D'Laryea must decide if he feels up to a place on the bench for Mansfield Town in Saturday's local derby.
The midfielder has been out since going off injured when the sides met back in March and has had two ankle operations.
But, having just completed his first week's training, the midfield ace would be a useful body on the bench for Stags if he feels up to it.
"Jon will not start the game on Saturday, that's for certain," said manager Billy Dearden.
"It would not be fair to throw him in at the deep end when he hasn't even had a reserve game.
"But it would give us and him a boost to be on the bench on Saturday. And he might be a good asset for the last 20 minutes or so, depending on how the game was going.
"I am very tempted to put him on there if he feels okay as he is a big player for us and people don't realise how much we have missed him.
"We will have to see how he goes in training today, have a chat and take it from there."
