Roch back for Boro

Brazilian midfielder Fabio Rochemback returns to the Middlesbrough squad for Sunday’s Barclays Premiership trip to Aston Villa.

The 23-year-old was ineligible for last night’s 0-0 UEFA Cup draw with Xanthi in Greece, but will be back to boost a squad which is again likely be without goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer (shoulder) and defender Ugo Ehiogu (groin).
