Boro must do without Ehiogu and Mendieta

Middlesbrough boss Steve McClaren will again be without Ugo Ehiogu and Gaizka Mendieta for Sunday’s Barclays Premiership clash against Everton at Goodison Park.

Both players missed last night’s UEFA Cup first-round first-leg win over Banik Ostrava with calf injuries, and McClaren has confirmed neither will be fit to make a return.
