Loan defender Kieron Freeman, signed on Friday from Derby County, made his second debut for Mansfield Town against Accrington Stanley this afternoon.

Freeman, who played at One Call Stadium three years ago on loan from Nottingham Forest, went straight into the team on the left side of a five-man midfield.

Lee Beevers switched to right wing back with Liam Marsden dropping to the bench. The injured Fergus Bell also returned after missing the defeat at Stevenage.

There was also a surprise in goal, where Saschet Studer returned in place of Forest loanee Evtimov.

Mansfield Town: Studer, Riley, Tafazolli, Sutton; Beevers, Murray, McGuire, Bell, Freeman, Rhead, Bingham. Subs: Evtimov, Thomas, Marsden, Fisher, Palmer, Lambe, Heslop.
