Wrexham could sit in fifth place and trail Wycombe Wanderers by eight points by the time they face Mansfield if results do not go their way.
Wrexham have won their last three outings against Mansfield but travel to Field Mill under immense pressure in the race for League One promotion.
Phil Parkinson’s side won the reverse fixture 1-0 at the Racecourse Ground back in November 2024 thanks to an early strike from Ryan Barnett.
The Red Dragons will be looking to continue Mansfield’s dreadful form that has seen them without a win in nine games but know that any victory will be hard fought and won’t come easily.
Wrexham predicted XI against Mansfield
Following the 2-1 defeat to Leyton Orient, there have been calls for Parkinson to make changes to his midfield with the belief that George Dobson and Matty James are restricting the side’s creativity in the middle of the park.
Journalist Rich Fay has questioned the selection of Mark Howard in goal despite the 38-year-old displaying decent performances in each of his last three league starts.
Arthur Okonkwo could come back into the side having now fully recovered from his fractured wrist, whilst Lewis Brunt is set to continue in an unchanged back three despite an uncharacteristic poor performance against Orient.
Andy Cannon is set to replace Dobson in the midfield to try and provide some forward-thinking in the central positions and a goal threat from deep.
Wrexham injury news ahead of clash with Mansfield
Elliot Lee shared a fitness update following his involvement in a road traffic accident after the EFL Trophy win over Bolton, the midfielder has set no timeframe on his return to action.
Paul Mullin was seen running with other members of the Wrexham squad before the Orient game, indicating he has recovered from a recent shin injury.
There are no other known injury concerns for Parkinson to deal with ahead of the Mansfield trip, meaning he once again has a decision to make as to who to leave out the matchday squad.
Mullin has joined Ollie Palmer on the sidelines in recent squads as the manager has gone with Steven Fletcher and Jack Marriott as his attacking options from the bench.
