Colin Daniel remains out of contention with a hamstring injury.
Mansfield announced four new additions following their 1-1 draw against Doncaster Rovers on New Year's Eve, while another four also departed the club.
All four are brought straight into the starting line-up, with loan signing Jake Kean replacing Scott Shearer in goal and Joel Byrom, Ben Whiteman and Yoann Arquin all given a start.
