30/11/2007 - 09:10:24Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate will be without Mark Schwarzer and Mido for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League trip to Reading.

However, Julio Arca is ready to resume after playing 59 minutes for the reserves in midweek following his recovery from medial ligament damage, while Robert Huth (ankle) is also in contention.
Provisional squad: Turnbull, Steele, Young, Taylor, Woodgate, Wheater, Riggott, Pogatetz, Huth, Hines, Cattermole, Rochemback, O’Neil, Boateng, Arca, Aliadiere, Downing, Tuncay, Lee, Hutchinson, Craddock.
