Injury worries for Boro

Boateng was caught by a nasty tackle from Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on Saturday at the Valley, and was in the thick of the action before being substituted with 15 minutes to go.

JFH was lucky to stay on the pitch for his challenge as he received a yellow card when a red card would not've been unfair.

Boro also have injury doubts over Chris Riggott and Stuart Parnaby who both have knee injuries, however neither were involved at Charlton, so the probable line up will be as follows:

Schwarzer, Xavier, Woodgate, Pogatetz, Taylor, Morrison, Cattermole, Arca, Downing, Viduka, Yakubu
