Mansfield Town v York City

07 May 2012 11:41
York City are boosted by the welcome return of Lanre Oyebanjo for their play-off semi-final second-leg at Mansfield Town (kick-off 2pm).

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has missed the last three games with hamstring trouble and is expected to be recalled into midfield. That would allow James Meredith to revert to left-back with Jamal Fyfield the most likely to switch to the bench. Chris Doig should be able to continue despite sitting out training during the week with a slight knock.

Otherwise the visitors were set to remain unchanged as they seek to improve upon the 1-1 draw from the first-leg last week. Should they manage to do so it would secure them a second Wembley appearance this season against either Wrexham or Luton Town in the final.

“It’s a big, fantastic game. We know the magnitude of it and what it means to the football club to win on Monday," York manager Gary MIlls told The Press. “Nobody needs motivating – not myself, the players or our fans. If we can pull it off on Monday we will have two Wembley finals to finish off our season. “That would be a fitting reward for the players, supporters and the club but only if we win both, do the double and get promoted."

Mansfield are definitely without leading scorer Matt Green. The 30-goal marksman was sent-off in the first-leg and will be replaced by either Matt Rhead or Ben Hutchinson.

Defender Martin Riley suffered a hamstring injury in the same game and was rated extremely doubtful.
