Gareth Southgate says that he may be forced to draft young forwards Tom Craddock and Ben Hutchinson into his first-team.
Having already lost Jeremie Aliadiere for around six weeks to a hamstring injury, Mido and Tuncay Sanli joined him on the sidelines after suffering knocks in the derby draw with Sunderland. Tuncay has a feared fracture to his leg, whilst Mido is reported to have a hamstring injury too - which would mean the duo are unlikely to play again until November at the earliest. That leaves just Lee Dong-gook available to Southgate, so he is now being forced to look at Boro's youngsters once again.
