Ban for Boro midfielder
Quote:
Middlesbrough midfielder Fabio Rochemback will sit out the opening three games of the season.
The Brazilian has picked up a three-match suspension following his sending off in last week's friendly with Hertha Berlin.
Rochemback was shown the red card during the second half of Boro's 1-1 draw in Austria after reacting to a tackle from Hertha's Pal Dardai.
Gareth Southgate said after the game that the club would try to appeal the dismissal in order to free Rochemback from a ban.
But Boro have now confirmed that the former Sporting Lisbon schemer will be missing for the first three games of the campaign.
He will be out of the opening day home clash with Blackburn Rovers on 11th August and the subsequent trips to Wigan Athletic and Fulham.
