Middlesbrough v Scunthorpe United: Boro's Johnson in battle to face The Iron
Championship: Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan will make a late decision on the fitness of winger Adam Johnson (hamstring).
Jeremie Aliadiere, who has been out of action since the 2-0 victory over Derby on October 20, is back in training, however, and has an outside chance of being included in the squad.
Defender Sean St Ledger is unavailable after his loan deal expired.
Matthew Bates (cruciate ligament) and Seb Hines (ankle surgery) remain on the sidelines as the Boro search for their first home win under Strachan.
Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Joe Murphy will return for The Iron after suspension.
The postponement of last week's encounter with Ipswich Town has allowed club captain Cliff Byrne (hamstring) and winger Martyn Woolford (foot) to improve their fitness levels and they may figure.
Kenny Milne and Ben May remain long-term absentees.
