Arca is perhaps the biggest concern after being carried from the touchline to the dressing room with suspected medial ligament damage to his knee. However, Southgate will be presented with a major headache if strikers Tuncay and Mido are sidelined for any length of time, with Jeremie Aliadiere already out for a month with a hamstring strain. Tuncay lasted just 10 minutes after taking a kick on the shin, while Mido played on with a hamstring problem. That means three of the club's four senior strikers are currently on the injury list 48 hours ahead of the Carling Cup third-round trip to Tottenham. South Korea international Dong-Gook Lee is Boro's only fit frontman, and he has only one goal to his name since his arrival on Teesside in January. That came in the 2-0 win over Northampton which earned Southgate's men their trip to White Hart Lane in the previous round.
