Middlesbrough defender Chris Riggott could keep his place for Sunday's clash.

Riggott started and scored in last weekend's 2-0 win over Portsmouth which secured the club's top-flight status after being recalled from his loan spell at Stoke.

He is likely to figure again with Robert Huth (foot) still missing, while midfielder Mohamed Shawky is out with a back problem which could see him miss Egypt's summer internationals.

Manchester City goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson has been recalled for the Premier League match at Middlesbrough on Sunday.

Isaksson has endured a frustrating campaign with Joe Hart the preferred choice between the posts.

Micah Richards, Nedum Onuoha and Valeri Bojinov remain sidelined for what could be Sven-Goran Eriksson's last match in charge.
