Sunderland v Middlesbrough April 25 2008
Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer could return to the side for Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Sunderland after recovering from a back problem.
Schwarzer is back in training after missing last weekend's 1-0 home defeat by Bolton, but Ross Turnbull, who deputised against Wanderers, is a fresh doubt with a similar problem.
Gary O'Neil (knee) is out for the rest of the season and Mido (hernia) could join him, while Robert Huth's foot problem remains a concern.
Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley is out of the clash as he prepares to undergo knee surgery.
Bardsley will have a cartilage operation on Monday which will mean he will not play again this season.
Jonny Evans is rated at only 50-50 with a hamstring strain, while Dwight Yorke (knee) remains a doubt and Dickson Etuhu is out for the remaining weeks of the campaign after already undergoing knee surgery.
Squads:
Sunderland: Gordon, Fulop, Collins, McShane, Nosworthy, Evans, Higginbotham, Harte, Whitehead, Reid, Leadbitter, Edwards, Miller, Richardson, Wallace, O'Donovan, Jones, Waghorn, Murphy, Stokes, Chopra, Prica.
Middlesbrough: Schwarzer, Turnbull, Jones, Young, Taylor, Grounds, McMahon, Wheater, Pogatetz, Boateng, Arca, Downing, Shawky, Rochemback, Cattermole, Johnson, Aliadiere, Alves, Tuncay.
