White missing for Bury

Bury look set to be without on-loan full-back Hayden White when Mansfield visit the JD Stadium.

Shakers boss David Flitcroft claimed referee Michael Bull "guessed" when he dismissed White against Northampton, but admits a lack of video evidence means overturning his red card is unlikely.

Striker Daniel Nardiello came off in the first half after sustaining a hamstring injury while goalkeeper Shwan Jalal is still considered a couple of weeks away due to ankle ligament damage.

Flitcroft also confirmed defender Pablo Mills faces up to two months out following a scan on his troublesome groin injury.

Mansfield will be without the suspended Ryan Tafazolli following his red card against Hartlepool.

Tafazolli will serve a one-match ban on Sunday and the full-back joins winger Rob Taylor, who will serve the second game of his three-match suspension, on the sidelines.

Either Martin Riley or Lee Beevers should replace Tafazolli, while fellow defender John Dempster is nearing a return from injury.

The likes of Fergus Bell, Rakish Bingham. Olly Palmer and Simon Heslop are also options for Stags boss Adam Murray should he wish to make changes elsewhere.
