McDonald could face Bluebirds
Middlesbrough striker Scott McDonald could yet make Monday's npower Championship trip to Cardiff just days after it appeared his season was over.
The Australia international limped off with a hamstring injury after a scoring a hat-trick at Hull last Saturday but has made a speedy recovery.
Manager Tony Mowbray told the club's official website: "I previously thought Scott's season might be over but he is probably touch and go for Monday.
"It's not a bad hamstring tear, the sort that will keep you out for six weeks, and he is desperate to play at Cardiff.
"If you are asking me if he will play, I would say probably not, but sometimes when it's touch and go, you might play him when there's only game left anyway.
"He's giving me half a glimpse that he wants to play. We will go on the judgement of the medical department and their expertise but it's good that he wants to play."
