It will be too soon for Alfie Doughty to be available for our Saturday lunchtime trip to Middlesbrough after picking up an ankle injury in stoppage time against Cardiff City on Wednesday night.

The wing-back, who was suspended for our Friday night fixture last week against West Bromwich Albion, will again be forced to watch from the sidelines.

Defender Reece Burke is progressing well but is unlikely to be available for our trip to the Riverside, while Mads Andersen and Reuell Walters remain out for this fixture.

Watch or listen to our game at Middlesbrough on LTFC+ this weekend!
