Middlesbrough team news v Crystal Palace: Aitor Karanka admits he has a selection dilema with near full strength squad

AITOR KARANKA has a near full-strength squad to pick from as Middlesbrough look to build on their unbeaten start.

The Premier League new boys shook off injury concerns to take five points from their three openers.

And Karanka admits he has a “nice problem” to deal with ahead of Crystal Palace’s visit tomorrow.

After landing Calum Chambers on loan, he said: “I always try to get the best of every player. Sometimes in the market you can find bargains.

“We were waiting till the end, we were waiting for the right player and Calum ticks all the boxes.

"He can play in different positions, he’s a good player and a good kid. I hope [he will be involved this weekend].

"I have a nice problem because I have more than 20 players ready to play. But I like that.

"I prefer to have that than just having 10 or 12 players.

"The best thing is they have all played really well and those who have played so far have done really well."

LIKELY BORO LINE-UP (4-2-3-1): Valdes; Barragan, Ayala, Gibson, Friend; Forshaw, Clayton; Stuani, Downing, Fischer; Negredo.
