Midfielder Claus Jensen returns to the squad to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside after missing Saturday’s draw with Manchester City because of a one-match suspension.

However, Mark Pembridge could retain his place in the starting line-up after impressing against City despite playing just 45 minutes in the previous eight weeks.

Senegal international Papa Bouba Diop is still sidelined with his hamstring injury while Sylvain Legwinski remains in the treatment room with a thigh strain.

Andy Cole is might be doubtful for the game after picking up an Achilles problem against City

Middlesbrough
Boro's injury list continues to be a huge burden to manager Steve McClaren.

Chris Riggott is the latest name to book into Boro's treatment room, which already boasts more than half-a-dozen of the club's first team squad.

One major boon for McClaren is that he has England international Ugo Ehiogu back to full fitness and he will come in to reform his renowned partnership with Gareth Southgate.

Boro are without their first three right backs, with Stuart Parnaby (groin) joining Michael Reiziger and Tony McMahon on the sidelines.

Andrew Davies - recalled from a loan spell at Queens Park Rangers - or veteran Colin Cooper will come in.

Boudewijn Zenden could return from an ankle injury, although McClaren could switch to 4-5-1 with the Dutch star playing behind compatriot Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink after some stellar displays from Doriva in recent games.
