Selection poser for Mowbray

05 November 2010 10:00
Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray faces a series of selection headaches for his side`s Championship clash with Crystal Palace. Midfielder Barry Robson is struggling with a persistent thigh problem, while Gary O'Neil, who missed last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Bristol City with a groin injury, remains a doubt as the Teessiders attempt to halt a run of six defeats in seven league outings. Utility-man Julio Arca continues to battle a knee problem and goalkeeper Danny Coyne has a torn calf muscle which is threatening to sideline him. However, full-back Justin Hoyte is in contention once again after making the bench last Saturday following his recovery from a hamstring injury. Rhys Williams (pelvis), Jonathan Franks (herniated disc) and Willo Flood (knee) remain on the casualty list.
