Boro's Under-21s are back in action on Monday as they take on PL2 title chasers Fulham.
It is just the second league fixture of 2025 for Mark Tinkler's side, who were narrowly beaten 3-2 by Blackburn Rovers last time out.
Fulham are second in the table, three points behind leaders Manchester City with a game in hand.
Monday's match will take place at Motspur Park, with kick-off at 7pm.
It is the first of two fixtures in London this week for the U21s, who are at Arsenal on Friday.
