Boro suffer Southgate setback

Middlesbrough skipper Gareth Southgate is out of tomorrow night’s UEFA Cup quarter-final first leg clash against Basle.

The 35-year-old defender misses out on the away trip due to a combination of back and ankle problems, however Chris Riggott has shaken off a calf injury to take his place in the squad.

Midfielders George Boateng and Lee Cattermole are suspended, but Emanuel Pogatetz is included despite having five stitches put into a facial wound on Sunday.

Squad: Schwarzer, Jones, Parnaby, Davies, Pogatetz, Queudrue, Taylor, Riggott, Ehiogu, Bates, Doriva, Mendieta, Parlour, Rochemback, Morrison, Downing, Hasselbaink, Maccarone, Viduka, Yakubu.
