Middlesbrough defender Jonathan Woodgate is back in contention after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The England international has missed the club's last two games, but could return against Villa, while Andrew Taylor (foot), Robert Huth (ankle) and Fabio Rochemback (hamstring) may also be involved.

Midfielder Julio Arca is back in training, but the game could come too soon for him, while striker Mido is still struggling.

Aston Villa strikers Gabriel Agbonlahor and Luke Moore are expected to be fit for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Moore was forced to pull out of the England Under-21 games with Bulgaria and Portugal because of a niggling groin problem suffered in the derby win over Birmingham but has now resumed training.

Five-goal leading scorer Agbonlahor was not risked for the midweek draw with Portugal after picking up a knee injury against Bulgaria. But he should also be ready to face former Villa defender Gareth Southgate's side.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill is expected to keep faith with goalkeeper Scott Carson despite his glaring error on his competitive England debut against Croatia which gifted the visitors the first goal in a 3-2 win.
