Gareth Evans completes suspension as Portsmouth face Mansfield

Gareth Evans sits out for the final game of his three-match ban for Portsmouth against Mansfield.

Goalkeeper Aaron McCarey has returned to parent club Wolves at the end of his loan after six Pompey appearances.

It means a change in goal for Portsmouth, with Brian Murphy likely to start as Paul Jones (knee) remains injured.

Adam McGurk (ankle), Jayden Stockley (ankle) and Jack Whatmough (knee) are also still out.

Mansfield welcome back defender Nicky Hunt from suspension.

Hunt sat out the midweek victory over Yeovil after picking up two yellow cards against Bristol Rovers last weekend, while Krystian Pearce was shown a straight red in the same game and remains sidelined.

Town boss Adam Murray dedicated Tuesday's victory to full-back Mal Benning, who will be out long term with a knee injury.

Blair Adams was signed on loan to replace him and made his debut against Yeovil.
