Defensive pair return for Boro

Middlesbrough boss Steve McClaren will welcome back central defenders Gareth Southgate and Ugo Ehiogu for tomorrow’s Barclaycard Premiership trip to Leeds.

Southgate has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, while Ehiogu has been struggling with a groin problem, but both would have played in Wednesday’s postponed Carling Cup semi-final second leg clash with Arsenal and have now had further time to recover.
