Parlour back for Boro

Middlesbrough midfielder Ray Parlour is back from a one-match suspension and returns for his side’s clash with Norwich at Carrow Road.

Ugo Ehiogu faces a long layoff with a knee ligament injury, so veteran Colin Cooper will partner skipper Gareth Southgate in the heart of defence.

Full-back Michael Reiziger has trained for the past two days but is still recovering from a broken toe and is doubtful to continue at right-back.

Team (from): Schwarzer, Reiziger, McMahon, Cooper, Southgate, Queudrue, Parlour, Nemeth, Zenden, Doriva, Downing, Hasselbaink, Job, Nash, Parnaby, Bates, Morrison.
