Nine Middlesbrough players away on international duty - when and where they play

Middlesbrough have nine players away on international duty during the final break of the calendar year.

Perhaps coming at a bad time for Boro, just as they found some goalscoring form, Michael Carrick will be hoping the nine senior players all return injury-free from representing their countries, while he puts the majority of his focus on trying to ensure those not away over the next fortnight stay sharp ahead of the return to action at Oxford United.

Though nine players are away, Emmanuel Latte Lath's three goals in five games haven't been enough to earn him an Ivory Coast recall, while Rav van den Berg's injury means he misses out for Netherlands Under-21s. With Marcus Forss still working his way back from injury, he too is not yet back in the Finland squad. Below are the nine Boro internationals and when and where they will play over the next 10 days or so, with kick-off given in Greenwich Mean Time.
