The latest Middlesbrough team news and predicted XI as Kim Hellberg's side gear up to face Watford in the Championship.
Middlesbrough face concerns over key striker Will Lankshear ahead of their Championship clash against Watford on Saturday. Lankshear missed Boro's 2-0 defeat to Wrexham on Wednesday due to injury, which also caused him to miss out on an England call-up. Manager Kim Hellberg is also assessing David Strelec, who returned from injury for an 18-minute substitute appearance in midweek.
Despite the recent loss, Middlesbrough remain top of the Championship table by one point over Wolves. Opponents Watford sit in 20th position after 14 games, having recently defeated Lincoln City 1-0. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough remain without summer signing Rokas Pukstas and defender Alfie Jones through injury.
