Boro may have up to eight players missing tomorrow. Captain George Friend is back in training following surgery, but he won’t be available to play.

Rudy Gestede (hamstring), Darren Randolph (thigh), Ashley Fletcher (calf), Marcus Browne (hamstring) and Ryan Shotton (knee) are all out contention. Aynsley Pears is a doubt with a hand injury while George Saville is suspended after picking up a red card against Derby.

Mejias, Dijksteel, McNair, Ayala, McNair, Coulson, Clayton, Wing, Howson, Tavernier, Assombalonga
