Boro boss Gareth Southgate has suffered a second blow on the injury front with the news that Mido has picked up a knock. This is the second blow for Southhgate in just a day as it was revealed earlier that Mohamed Shawkey has a groin injury which could keep him out until October.
Mido, who missed most of last season with injury, is desperate to get on the field for his country, said: "I want to take part in the match, even if I will play for a few minutes.
"I will do whatever it takes to be fit for the game. I may start on the bench."
Southgate will be anxious that Mido does not compound the injury by playing whilst unfit.
