Elliott Hewitt
He had a rest over the weekend and Mansfield hope he is fit for the Tranmere game.
The 27-year-old has been a regular since his summer switch from Grimsby Town.
Stephen McLaughlin
The winger has also been speaking to the press this morning but has admitted he doesn’t know if he will train this week.
Clough said he trained last Friday but they didn’t want to risk him against Exeter.

Kellan Gordon
He hasn’t played since the Rochdale game on 18th September.
The full-back is still recovering from a knee injury and is unlikely to play against Tranmere.
He could get some minutes under his belt in the Premier League Cup against Wigan Athletic next week.
Ryan Stirk
The Birmingham City loan man has now taken his protective boot off and will get some game time with the Under-23s in their upcoming fixtures which is a boost to the Stags.
Others
Midfielder George Maris made his return against Exeter whilst new boy John-Joe O’Toole was on the bench.
The latter will be hoping he can make his debut this weekend.
