Ehiogu and Parnaby back for Boro

Long-term absentees Ugo Ehiogu and Stuart Parnaby return to the Middlesbrough squad for tomorrow night’s Carling Cup fourth round clash with Everton amid a potential injury crisis.

Both men have been out for the bulk of the season to date with knee ligament injuries, but are included after recently resuming full training as Steve McClaren attempts to cover for a series of knocks.
