Boro Under-21s can all-but secure a place in the end of season play-offs at Fulham on Monday.
Mark Tinkler's charges are five points above the cut with just three games of the regular season remaining.
Boro have won three of the last four games 3-2 and the most recent one saw a stoppage time goal from Pharrell Willis secure a deserved victory over Newcastle United.
Dan Nkrumah, whose loan at Dagenham and Redbridge has now expired, is added to the squad for the trip to London.
Fulham are in third place, although leaders Tottenham and second-placed West Ham both hold a five-point advantage over the Cottagers.
