STAGS midielder Lee Bell has had a knee operation and will be out of action for three weeks.
He had a small piece of cartilage removed in an arthroscopy on Saturday morning after picking up an injury against Bradford City last Wednesday.
Physio Paul Madin told the club's official website
www.mansfieldtown.net: "It was only minor and we are pleased with how it went."
Jonathan D'Laryea is expected to resume training on Thursday and Nathan Arnold should be fit for Saturday's trip to Grimsby.
