MIDDLESBROUGH have been boosted by the return of Ryan Giles for the final day visit of Coventry City.

He's one of three changes to the Boro team, with Alex Mowatt also coming into the side. Marc Bola and Dan Barlaser drop out. Tommy Smith also replaces the suspended Anfernee Dijksteel.

Captain Jonny Howson is missing, as expected, while Dael Fry, Marcus Forss and Aaron Ramsey are all still absent.

Darnell Fisher is back on the bench after a long lay-off. He hasn't played for Boro since April, 2021.

For the visitors, Viktor Gyokeres is fit to start, as expected.
