The striker was missing from the squad that faced Arsenal at the Riverside, but Southgate says Mido (and Gary O'Neil) missed the Arsenal match with hamstring problems.

Wigan are said to be top of the list of clubs wanting to sign the striker in the January transfer window, but according to Boro ... he has not played his last game in a red shirt.

Mido On His Way!
By Boro Mad	Sunday, 14th December 2008

The Sunday Sun reports are ready to cash in on striker Mido — to finance a minor spending spree next month.

Sunday Sun: "Egyptian sources insist Mido still hopes to move to Wigan next month, but Boro are understood to now be willing to listen to offers for the striker, who was left out of their matchday squad for yesterday's visit of Arsenal." Wigan increased the pressure on under-fire Blackburn manager Paul Ince with a comprehensive 3-0 victory at the JJB Stadium, and star striker Emile Heskey scored a wonder goal as reports suggest he is heading to Chelsea.
