Supporters of the League Two side said the player urinated while warming up during the match last Saturday.

"During the first half of the
match Mansfield substitute Adi Yussuf was warming up on the touchline right in
front of the disabled zone where I sit with my friend.
"He said something to Plymouth
Argyle substitutes Rooney and Purrington before walking over to the piece of
disused land between the disabled zone and the Devonport End and took a wee. A supporter who preferred to stand on anonymity said.

"This was right in front of
everyone in the disabled section.
"Myself and the lady who works
in the refreshments area witnessed it as well as some others and we reported it
to the stewards.
"They later took a statement and reported
it to the referee."
Brendan Malone, the referee on duty included the incident in his report and the Football association has begun investigation over the issue.
In response to the allegation, Mansfield Town said: "The club has been made aware
of the said complaint by The Football Association and is internally
investigating the matter."
