Middlesbrough travel to Bolton Wanderers this evening looking to get right back on the winning track (kick-off 8.00pm).
England Under-21 international defender Ben Gibson again misses out for the visitors due to the hamstring problem suffered in the opening day victory against Birmingham City.
Fellow centre-back Jonathan Woodgate is also out of contention but newcomer Damia Abella should continue following a solid debut at the weekend.
Longer-term casualties Emmanuel Ledesma (foot), Rhys Williams (Achilles) and Mustapha Carayol (cruciate) remain on the sidelines.
Bolton must give a late check to defender Dean Moxey and Tim Ream stands by to cover.
