Midfielder Gaston Ramirez could return to the Middlesbrough squad
for Saturday's Premier League clash with Everton after resuming
training.
The Uruguay international joined his team-mates at their warm-weather
camp in Spain this week after being given time off to regather his
thoughts in the wake of Leicester's transfer window interest in him,
although he has missed the last six games with head coach Aitor Karanka
putting his absence down to a knee problem.
Full-back George Friend remains a doubt with a calf injury, while
fellow defender Antonio Barragan will sit out with a hamstring strain.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman has no new injury concerns so his main decisions ahead of the trip to Middlesbrough are tactical.
Midfield is the greatest area of competition, with Idrissa Gana Gueye not even getting off the bench for last weekend's 6-3 win over Bournemouth and impressive youngster Tom Davies restricted to a substitute role.
Midfielder Mo Besic is still working his way back to fitness from a knee injury while teenage forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin is recovering from an ankle injury.
Provisional squads
Middlesbrough: Valdes, Guzan, Chambers, Fabio, Gibson, Espinosa, Ayala, Fry, De Roon, Clayton, Forshaw, Leadbitter, Guedioura, Downing, Stuani, Traore, Fischer, Negredo, Gestede, Bamford.
Everton: Robles, Williams, Funes Mori, Holgate, Coleman, Baines, Schneiderlin, McCarthy, Barry, Barkley, Lookman, Lukaku, Stekelenburg, Jagielka, Gueye, Davies, Mirallas, Lennon, Valencia.
