Southgate : Mido Could Be Out Until New Year

GARETH SOUTHGATE has revealed that it may be into the New Year before Boro fans see Mido in a Boro shirt again.
Three different specialists have advised Boro that Mido's stress reaction in the pubic bone is a difficult condition to treat and that the only way the player will recover is through rest and rehabilitation.
The specialists agree that a timescale for Mido's recovery is difficult to predict but it seems he is unlikely to play until 2008.
Southgate said: "We were recommended to try a course of injections but unfortunately these have failed to improve his symptoms.

"On the advice of specialists, we have therefore decided that the best course of action is for Mido to have a period of rest and rehabilitation.
"Due to the nature of the injury, it's very difficult to put a timescale on it but what Mido needs to do now is rest from playing football or training with the team.
"The aim of the rehabilitation during this period will be to strengthen the areas around the injury and in particular to work on his core stability.
"Our medical team will work closely with him over the weeks ahead to ensure we eventually have him back fit and raring to go.
"It is frustrating for Mido and for the rest of us to lose him in this way because we all want him out on the pitch and scoring goals, but the most important thing is that we resolve the problem even if unfortunately it takes longer than we would like."

Good news from treatment room .

THERE was better news from the treatment room this afternoon for Julio Arca, Mido, Jonathan Woodgate and Andrew Taylor.
Arca has been out since September with medial ligament damage but is now back in full training although Gareth Southgate says the Aston Villa match may come too early for the playmaker.
But Woodgate will be hoping to be ready for the weekend after missing the last two games after damaging his hamstring.

Mido is also running following his groin injury but it is too early to say whether he will be available for weekend selection.

Andrew Taylor returned from England U21 duty prematurely due to the foot injury that forced him off against Bolton a fortnight ago. The youngster is also running but will not join full training until Thursday at the earliest.

And there was also updates for two of Boro's long term injury victims.
Robert Huth came through 90 minutes unscathed as the Reserves beat Glasgow Rangers 2-0 on Friday too add to his 60 minutes the previous week against Manchester United. He is still building up match fitness.
Brad Jones however is still some weeks away following his leg injury.

Boro official site

Mido is here ..

The rumour mill has been fuelled by Internet sites re-reporting inaccurate information and while Southgate admits he finds the situation frustrating, he says it is a sign of the times.

"Everything gathers momentum at this time and with the Internet being how it is now, people can print anything without foundation and a story can build up out of nothing.

"There have been stories about Mido going back to Egypt without permission, which is nonsense.

"He had an injection into his injury and we told him to go home because he had to rest for a week.

(as we say here)

"Most things are a bit of truth, a bit of fabrication and a bit of gloss.
"It's difficult for players because they read articles about players coming or going or changes happening and we haven't made any decisions on any of these things."

Mido Reveals All

Are you glad you came to Teesside and are you surprised by how much the fans love you?

What do you think of the Middlesbrough support after coming from Tottenham and having a full houses almost every week? Does it affect your game?

Mido: I am very grateful to the Middlesbrough fans for the way they have supported me. It is very important for a player to feel he is loved by the fans. All players like to play in front of big crowds and although the stadium is not full, the Boro fans have shown they can give great support.

What are your aspirations for Middlesbrough Football Club this season? Where do you expect us to finish or where would you like us to finish?

Mido: Obviously I would like us to finish as high as we can, I came here to help the club achieve a good placing and I think we can get that. I don't think top four is realistic, but top 10 definitely.

All Egypt is proud of Mido. Do you think you can be the top striker this league? Can you be a 20-goal-a-season striker for Boro? How many goals do you think you will score this season?

Mido: I never set myself targets, I just try to score as many goals as I can. Some people say you should get two or three goals against this team or that team, but it's silly. It is hard to score a goal and if I score just one goal in a game that is good. But obviously I try to score more.

What about your hopes in the future and in your private life?

Mido: I hope that my son grows up to be a respectful young man and that my family remain healthy. That is the most important thing for me.

If you could pick anyone to have as your perfect strike partner who would it be? Please don't say Yakubu or Viduka!

Mido: Robbie Keane

Your performance is very nice but can you play with Tuncay Sanli?

Mido: We are all still getting used to each other and the way we play. There are some very good players at this club and I feel for sure that we can all play together, whatever team is picked.

Who was your best mate at Spurs and who was the hardest player you faced?

Mido: Robbie Keane and Hossam Ghaly were the players I got on best with. The hardest player? That is a tough one, there have been many, but maybe Fabio Cannavaro.

Who is the best player you have played with?

Mido: I have played with some great players. Remember I started at Ajax and there were some great players there. Players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Christian Chivu, Rafael van der Vaart and Andy van der Meyde. Then at Tottenham there was Robbie Keane.

We see you playing football in the UK very, very well but when you come with our national team you aren't the same. Do you know why?

What are the probabilities for Egypt to win the African Cup of Nations?

I greatly respect your choice to join the Egyptian national team whenever needed, although it obviously has a negative effect on your club stats and post-tournament performance. Will you do the same when the next African Cup of Nations comes around?

Mido: I think things are different when you play for your club and your country. The games and the players are not the same. I don't know why this is, but that is what I feel, maybe it will be different in the future. I think Egypt must have a good chance in the African Cup of Nations, but I don't know if I will be selected, that is not my choice.

What is your relationship with the three other Egyptian players in England, Ahmed Fathi, Mohamed Shawky and Hossam Ghaly?

Mido: We all get on well.

I consider Mido the most legendary player in Egypt's football history who was able to make this strong impression in both African and European football. What is the secret in that, knowing that majority of Egyptian players they don't survive the harshness of the European professional football levels and they end up returning back to the Egyptian league very soon?

Mido: I don't think there is any secret. I have been lucky to have achieved what I have and to have played where I have, but it takes a lot of work and practice.

Do you think Mohamed Shawky will be a good deal for the Boro?

Mido: Yes. He has shown he is a good player for Egypt and he has trained well here. I think it will take him time to adjust to the game in this country, but I think he will be a good player for the club.

was playing football in Alexandria sporting club, I was a striker too. You are my favourite player in the whole world. I want to be like you so what can I do?

Mido: Work hard, be respectful and listen to good coaches. But always try to enjoy your football.

When you scored past Newcastle you looked really happy with yourself. Did you really enjoy that goal if so why?

How did it feel when you scored your first goal for Boro?

Mido: It is always important to score for your new club. It is a way of thanking the fans for the support they show. It felt really good to score. Every player, especially a striker, wants to score. And yes, I did enjoy scoring in that game, but I always do.

Do you ever get nervous before a match?

Mido: No, I never get nervous before a game.

Who is your best mate in football?

Mido: Probably Robbie Keane, although Ghaly is my friend too.

If Boro are awarded a penalty while you are on the pitch, will you be taking it?

Mido: I will be taking the penalties for Middlesbrough this season

Why did you accept the number nine shirt and what about shirt number 11?

Mido: Number nine is a favourite number of mine and I like wearing the number nine shirt. When I came here nine was available, so I asked if I could have it.

Mido Hit Comeback Trail

Meanwhile, Mido looks unlikely to be available for Sunday's trip to Bolton after missing three of the last four games, most recently with a groin problem.
Crosby says the home game against Aston Villa on Saturday November 24 is a realistic target for the Egyptian striker's return - and he says Boro need him back fit and at his best.
"We haven't seen a lot of Mido and he's not been able to do any training up to now," he said. "We need goals and we need Mido, he's a class player so hopefully we can get him back for the Villa match."

Mido Set To Miss Spurs Reunion

MIDO looks set to miss out on the chance of a reunion with his old Spurs team-mates on Saturday but Robert Huth has joined fellow defender Emanuel Pogatetz on the road back to full fitness.
Egyptian striker Mido, signed from the White Hart Lane side in the summer for £6m, is struggling with the groin injury that kept him out of last weekend's trip to Manchester United.
Gareth Southgate said this afternoon: "I don't think he'll make this week and we've just got to see how he progresses beyond that."It's important we get him fit and firing and ready to come back into the side and make a big impact."We've got to get him fully fit now rather than playing a game, missing a game and keeping aggravating the injury, so we've decided to take him out for a spell, get him fully fit and up to speed."
