Aside from defender Daniel Ayala, the Boro head coach should have a fully fit squad to choose from when the Championship resumes this weekend – but who will start for the Teessiders? Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has picked the side he would play to face the Swans – scroll down and flick though our picture gallery to see if you agree:
9. LW: Marcus Tavernier
Can cause problems on the break with his pace and direct running on the ball. The 21-year-old has become a key player this season. Photo: James Chance
10. CAM: Lewis Wing
Boro's second top scorer with seven league goals this season. Has been at his best playing just behind the striker where he can make more attacking contributions. Photo: Harriet Lander
11. ST: Ashley Fletcher
The club's top scorer with 10 league goals this campaign. Woodgate has a big call whether or not to start Britt Assombalonga, who has missed a large part of the season through injury. Boro's best performances this term have come when Fletcher has led the line. Photo: Alex Livesey
