Fresh Friend blow for Middlesbrough ahead of Barnsley game
Posted Wednesday, November 27, 2019 by PA
Middlesbrough are without at least four key players for the visit of Barnsley in the Sky Bet Championship.
Club captain George Friend – sidelined since the start of the month with thigh and hip problems – has suffered a setback that could sideline him until February.
Rudy Gestede (hamstring), Ryan Shotton (knee) and Marcus Browne (hamstring) will also miss the game.
Goalkeeper Darren Randolph is a doubt due to a thigh strain.
Aapo Halme is the only absentee for the visitors, after failing to recover from a head injury sustained in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Blackburn.
Halme was replaced at half-time after picking up the knock late on in the first half, suffering visible damage to his nose in the process.
The midfielder could be replaced by Kenny Dougall or Cameron McGeehan in Gerhard Struber’s starting XI.
Barnsley remain without a win in any competition since their victory over Fulham on the opening day of the season.
