Huth Set For Swift Return

Robert Huth is set to make a return from injury in time for the clash against Hull City on Saturday.

The former Chelsea defender was set to feature in the reserve game against Bolton through the week, but was called off due to bad weather.

An injury to Boro captain Emanuel Pogatetz may lead the way to Huth making an appearance.

"Robert was very close to being on the bench last week," said Boro first-team coach Colin Cooper.

"It was a blow for him to miss the chance of a run-out, but he's certain to be close to the bench this week."
