Braithwaite set to return to Middlesbrough squad

Middlesbrough striker Martin Braithwaite will be involved against Rotherham.

The Denmark international was left out of Friday’s win at Sheffield Wednesday due to his late arrival back from international duty, but he will be in the matchday squad against the Millers.

Boss Tony Pulis must decide who makes way if Braithwaite comes into the side, with the likes of Stewart Downing and Britt Assombalonga both impressing at Hillsborough.

Pulis has no injury or suspension concerns as his side aim to win their first home game in three.

Rotherham have a number of injury concerns.

Richard Wood suffered a calf problem in the draw against Bolton at the weekend, where Billy Jones picked up a hamstring injury, Jon Taylor hurt his knee and Ryan Manning took a kick to the leg.

All four are doubts ahead of the trip up the A1, with Sean Raggett (ankle) and Darren Potter (Achilles) long-term absentees.

The Millers have yet to pick up an away point from six games this season and their record at Championship level is even worse, failing to win any of their last 31 games on the road.
