New manager Gareth Southgate will be looking for a successful start to his managerial career, and only has one injury worry for Boro’s first match of the season.
Mendieta has a fractured metatarsal, and is not expected back to first team action until the end of August.
Middlesbrough have only made the one major signing this summer so far, and Julio Arca will be fighting for a place on the left side of the pitch, against either Downing or Pogatetz.
YTM’s predicted starting XI vs Reading on 19th August:
GK: Schwarzer
DR: Parnaby
DC: Riggott
DC: Ehiogu
DL: Pogatetz
MR: Cattermole
MC: Boateng
MC: Rochemback
ML: Downing
SC: Viduka
SC: Yakubu
What are Boro’s chances this season?
Will Southgate prove to become a defender turned successful manager, like Beckenbauer? Or will he fall from grace very quickly, like Tony Adams??
