Both have been nursing pre-season injuries and it is now hoped they will be ready for the home clash with Walsall on Saturday ahead of the season curtain-raiser at Northampton the following week.

Stags won 1-0 at Grimsby Town on Friday night thanks to a Matt Rhead goal and boss Paul Cox today said: “Following the Grimsby Town game, the forthcoming friendly with Lincoln will give our players another serious test.

“Lincoln, I feel, will be looking for promotion next season and it’ll therefore be a great game to test all facets of our play.”
