Gestede ruled out of Villa reunion
Posted Friday, November 30, 2018 by PA
Middlesbrough’s Rudy Gestede has been ruled out of the Sky Bet Championship clash with his former club Aston Villa on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.
The forward was substituted against Preston and manager Tony Pulis has not given a return date for Gestede,
Lewis Wing could feature despite being substituted on Tuesday, although the club are still assessing the injury.
The youngster trained on Thursday and a late decision will be made about whether Wing is rested for another week or is deemed fit to play against Villa.
The visitors will be hoping John McGinn will be available after he played the majority of their thrilling 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
McGinn missed the derby against Birmingham last weekend and according to manager Dean Smith is still being treated as an injured player.
Alan Hutton will miss the game after incurring his fifth booking of the season on Wednesday, while Albert Adomah is out with an ankle injury.
Of the long-term injured, Mile Jedinak is close to a return, Keinan Davis has returned to training, and Birkir Bjarnason and Henri Lansbury could return in a few weeks.
