MARK Schwarzer could return to Middlesbrough's starting line-up for tomorrows vital relegation clash with Portsmouth.

The shot-stopper missed last weekend's 3-2 defeat at Sunderland with a back injury, but both he and Ross Turnbull, who was on the bench at the Stadium of Light despite nursing a similar problem, are back in training with Brad Jones likely to make way.

Jeremie Aliadiere should be available after recovering from the dead leg that sidelined him for the trip to Wearside, but Robert Huth (foot) remains a doubt and Gary O'Neil (knee) and Mido (hernia) are out for the rest of the season.

MIDDLESBROUGH squad to face Portsmouth: Schwarzer, Turnbull, Jones, Young, Taylor, Grounds, McMahon, Wheater, Pogatetz, Boateng, Arca, Downing, Shawky, Rochemback, Cattermole, Johnson, Aliadiere, Alves, Tuncay.
