Boro without banned Riggott

Middlesbrough will be without Chris Riggott for Sunday’s Barclays Premiership clash with Tottenham at the Riverside Stadium.

The 25-year-old is suspended after being dismissed at Liverpool last weekend, although midfielder Fabio Rochemback, who was ineligible for the 2-0 UEFA Cup victory over Litex Lovech, returns to the squad.
