With the news that Jonathan D'Laryea will be out for up to 3 months, the Stags midfield is a bit light on the ground, which will give former Crewe midfielder Lee Bell being given a chance to shine in pre-season.
Bell, along with former loanee Matt Piper are training with the Stags with a view to winning a permanent deal. Manager Billy Dearden told the Mansfield CHAD this week "Lee has done very well in training and now I want to see him in a match situation.
"But, on what I've seen, I would like to think we will take him anyway regardless of looking for one or two more this week. We would just need to sort something out with him."
