Teenager Danny Sleath is expected to make way for the former Darlington man, as Simon Brown could well move into the midfield role he has took up for most of the season.
The Stags will still be without Jonathan D'Laryea (ankle), Jake Buxton (knee), Jon-Olav Hjelde (calf) and Stephen Dawson (hamstring) while Giles Coke (knee) is out for the season.

Posh manager Darren Ferguson is likely to make changes to his starting line-up with Danny Blanchett, Jamie Day, Richard Butcher and Alan White all pushing for a berth in the side. Guy Branston and Aaron Mclean are the only confirmed absentees although midfielder Micah Hyde was limping as he left Accrington following several meaty challenges in the middle of the park.
