LONDON (AFP) - Jonathan Woodgate will miss Middlesbrough´s FA Cup fourth replay against Bristol City at the Riverside because of a hamstring problem.

The England defender, who also missed Saturday´s Premiership game at Chelsea, is still suffering tightness in a hamstring after sustaining the injury during the international friendly defeat against Spain last week.

Midfielder Julio Arca, who went over on an ankle at Chelsea, faces a late fitness test.

Boro will be without South Korean striker Dong-Gook Lee, who was not signed in time to be registered for the first meeting between the two teams at Ashton Gate in January where City - who play in the third tier of the English game - came from 2-0 down against their Premiership opponents to force a 2-2 draw.
