Dutch midfielder, and former Viler, George Boeteng definately misses the live television clash after breaking a toe whilst former Arsenal man Ray Parlour is unlikely to have recovered from an ankle injury in time for the game at St Andrew's.
Australian international striker Mark Viduka is also a doubt as he is still struggling with the back injury that forced him to be substituted during Boro's 3-0 win against Villa at The Riverside last weekend.
Defender Ugo Ehiogu and striker Malcolm Christie will definately not play as they are still recovering from long term injuries.
A good time to play Boro then maybe?
