Banned Boro duo return

Middlesbrough duo Emanuel Pogatetz and James Morrison return from suspension for tomorrow night’s Barclays Premiership trip to Liverpool.

The Austrian has completed a two-match ban after reaching 10 bookings for the season, while Morrison has sat out the last three games following his sending-off in the FA Cup quarter-final replay defeat at Manchester United.

Julio Arca (groin) is back in training but remains a doubt, while manager Gareth Southgate will make a late decision on £6m (€8.9m) defender Robert Huth, who was substituted after complaining of muscle tightness during the 3-1 home defeat by Aston Villa on Saturday, but Mark Viduka (stomach bug) should return.

Provisional squad: Schwarzer, Jones, Parnaby, Davies, Xavier, Woodgate, Pogatetz, Huth, Riggott, Taylor, Boateng, Downing, Cattermole, Morrison, Euell, Johnson, Rochemback, Viduka, Yakubu, Lee.
