Boro duo edge closer to return

16 February 2011 12:30
Middlesbrough pair Willo Flood and Rhys Williams will both take a step closer to a return to first-team action this week following long-term injuries. Former Celtic midfielder Flood and Australia international Williams, who have played no part for Boro this season, are scheduled to appear for 45 minutes in a reserve-team fixture. Flood dislocated his knee on the opening day of the season against Ipswich and Williams has been sidelined with a hip problem which also forced him to miss the World Cup finals in South Africa.
