Cooper back for Boro
05/12/2003 - 15:01:16Veteran defender Colin Cooper will return for Middlesbrough against Portsmouth at the Riverside Stadium after being rested for the Carling Cup-tie with Everton in midweek.
Juninho has recovered from a hamstring injury but fellow Brazilian Doriva has only a 50-50 chance of playing with an ankle problem.
Middlesbrough will equal a 28-year club record if they record their sixth successive clean sheet in the top flight.
Team (from): Schwarzer, Mills, Cooper, Southgate, Queudrue, Mendieta, Boateng, Greening, Doriva, Zenden, Maccarone, Nemeth, Riggott, Nash, Ehiogu, Ricketts, Davies.
