McClaren forced into change

Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren faces a potential defensive reshuffle for tomorrow’s FA Cup quarter-final tie against Charlton.

Andrew Davies is cup-tied, while Chris Riggott is doubtful after picking up a calf strain in Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at Blackburn.

Stuart Parnaby, who has been out for almost three weeks with a hamstring strain, is in line to return.

Provisional squad: Schwarzer, Jones, Southgate, Riggott, Ehiogu, Parnaby, Bates, Boateng, Doriva, Downing, Mendieta, Cattermole, Parlour, Rochemback, Morrison, Johnson, Kennedy, Yakubu, Hasselbaink, Viduka, Maccarone.
