Mansfield Town make offers for loan pair - Clough
Stags boss issues update on Perch and Clarke...
Mansfield Town are waiting to hear whether two potential loan signings will be given the green light.
The Stags made approaches for a couple of unnamed players yesterday.
Speaking after last night's 3-2 victory at Oldham Athletic, manager Nigel Clough revealed he was hoping to hear back from clubs today.
“We’re trying (to bring some players in)," Clough said.
"We’ve put a couple of offers in for loan players today, so we’ll wait to hear back in the next 24 hours or so.”
Skipper Ollie Clarke and James Perch remained sidelined last night after both missing the weekend's FA Cup defeat at Cheltenham.
Defender Perch has been suffering from illness, while Clarke injured his knee in the victory over Salford.
“It’s the same as Sunday. James Perch is still recovering from the bug he’s had, and Ollie from the bump on the knee he had against Salford,” Clough added.
“All being well, they should both be available for Saturday (versus leaders Carlisle United), but we’ll see how we go.”
