Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Jones will face Fulham on Saturday despite dislocating his finger last weekend.

The Australian played the second half of last weekend's 3-1 win over Hull with his finger strapped up.

French midfielder Didier Digard could be involved in the squad after making a quicker than expected return from thigh and knee problems, but skipper Emanuel Pogatetz (knee) remains on the sidelines, while Gary O'Neil completes a two-match ban.

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson will make late checks on Zoltan Gera and Toni Kallio before the game.

Gera has been struggling with a foot injury and Kallio is recovering from a virus.

Hodgson has no fresh injury problems in his squad.

Teams:

Middlesbrough (from): Jones, Turnbull, Hoyte, McMahon, Taylor, Grounds, Wheater, Riggott, Huth, Hines, Aliadiere, Tuncay, Bates, Walker, Shawky, Downing, Johnson, Digard, Alves, King.

Fulham (from): Schwarzer, Pantsil, Stoor, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Baird, Davies, Etuhu, Dacourt, Murphy, Gera, Dempsey, Johnson, Zamora, Zuberbuhler, Kallio, Nevland, Kamara, Gray, Barnes.
