All the team news ahead of Newcastle’s match against Middlesbrough on Sunday at the Riverside.

Newcastle will be boosted by the news that Kieron Dyer and Titus Bramble will both be back in contention for the first team.

 

Taylor (shoulder) is still out and Scott Parker is set to miss the rest of the season with glandular fever.

 

For Boro, Queudrue is a doubt for the defence after sustaining a dead leg and head injury in the UEFA Cup win over Basel FC, and Cattermole (ankle) is expected to miss out too.

 

Newcastle (from): Given, Harper, Carr, Ramage, Moore, Bramble, Boumsong, Elliott, Solano, Bowyer, Emre, N'Zogbia, Dyer, Clark, Faye, Brittain, O'Brien, Shearer, Ameobi, Chopra.

 

Middlesbrough (from): Schwarzer, Jones, Parnaby, Taylor, Southgate, Riggott, Ehiogu, Davies, Bates, Boateng, Doriva, Downing, Parlour, Rochemback, Morrison, Yakubu, Hasselbaink, Viduka, Maccarone.
