Boro boosted by return of defensive duo

Middlesbrough full-backs Franck Queudrue and Stuart Parnaby return to the squad after injury for tomorrow’s derby trip to Sunderland.

The Frenchman, who has been out with a knee problem, and hamstring victim Parnaby will push Colin Cooper and Robbie Stockdale for their places as Boro attempt to record a first away victory in the Barclaycard Premiership since September 28.
