Updated news on Middlesbrough's Seven Injuries

Boro currently have at least seven players who have injury worries. One of them, Michael Reiziger, is on his way back. He played 72 minutes for the Reserves on Tuesday night.

However, he admits that he has further work to do to strengthen his injured shoulder and this could take several weeks.

Danny Graham was taken off injured from the Tuesday game but a scan has revealed no serious damage.

Ugo Ehiogu (calf), Szilard Nemeth (hip) are both struggling to get fit but could be back in contention soon.

Malcolm Christie (stress fracture) and Stuart Parnaby (broken leg) will be out until January, at best, and Gaizka Mendieta is unlikely to be back in action until very late in the season.
