Adam Birchall looks set to miss the Stags clash at Chester, due to beig called up for the Welsh U21 squad for the European U21 Championship game against England, which is being played the same night at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham.
The none availability of Birchall puts extra strain on the Stags who are already without the injured Chris Beardsley, and who also have just released Matthew Tipton to Bury.
