After recently returning from a long period on the sidelines, it looks as though Middlesbrough could be without Alex Bangura for another lengthy period with the defender hobbling off after only six minutes on Sunday.
The away side will also miss Callum Brittain (ankle), George Edmundson (hip), Riley McGree (hamstring) and Darragh Lenihan (ankle) for Saturday's trip.
Middlesbrough possible starting lineup:
Brynn; Ayling, Malanda, Targett, Browne; Hackney, Morris, Whittaker; Silvera, Burgzorg, Conway
