ANTONIO BARRAGAN returns to Middlesbrough's defence for this evening's Premier League game with West Brom.

The Spaniard has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, but returns to the fold tonight at right-back.

With Calum Chambers absent with a fractured foot, Bernardo Espinosa partners Ben Gibson at centre-half. Fabio da Silva lines up at left-back, with George Friend sidelined after hobbling off in Saturday's FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley.

Cristhian Stuani and Adama Traore will fill the wide positions, with Alvaro Negredo playing as a lone striker.

There is no Jordan Rhodes in the Boro squad, as the Scotsman is currently completing a medical in South Yorkshire ahead of a proposed £10m move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Boro should complete one transfer of their own ahead of tonight's £11m deadline, with Adlene Guedioura on Teesside as he puts the finishing touches to a £4m move from Watford.
