Middlesbrough midfielder Rhys Williams is suspended for the home game with Reading after being dismissed in midweek.
This suspension adds to Gordon Strachan's worries as his list of injured players continues to grow.
Defender Kyle Naughton picked up a knee problem at Pride Park in midweek and is doubtful for the game tomorrow and the match will also come too soon for Emanuel Pogatetz, whose knee injury is on the mend.
Add these to the list of Willo Flood, Jeremie Aliadiere, Tony McMahon, Seb Hines and Matthew Bates who are all out with a variety of problems, which leaves the manager's options limited for the clash against in-form Reading.
