Justin Hoyte and Mido are set for a return to the Boro squad for the home game against West Ham United this weekend.

Full-back Hoyte has been sidellined since sustaining a thigh injury during Boro's 1-0 away win against Wigan on 4th October.

Egyptian striker Mido has missed Boro's last two matches against Blackburn and Manchester City with a groin injury.

However, both players have returned to full team training this week and are expected to be named in manager Gareth Southgate's squad for the match against The Hammers at The Riverside on Saturday afternoon.
