Adam Clayton is likely to be sidelined for Middlesbrough’s trip to Molineux this evening.

The ex-Huddersfield Town and Leeds United schemer, in fine form after his seven-figure move from Town, is set to miss out due to a head injury, with Dean Whitehead expected to start in the engine room alongside Grant Leadbitter.

Lee Tomlin, substituted at half-time of Boro’s weekend win at Brighton with a leg injury, and fellow scorer Albert Adomah, who suffered cramp in the latter stages at the Amex Stadium, are part of the squad.

Molineux is a venue which holds mixed memories for Boro fans, with the club famously losing an FA Cup quarter-final replay there in 1981 which effectively led to the breakup of John Neal’s side and relegation the following season.
