Mido explains absence


Middlesbrough striker Mido has revealed his absence from the club’s pre-season trip to Portugal is due to visa problems.
The Egypt international, who missed the major part of last season due to injury, has been prevented from making the trip to the Algarve and will miss the friendly with Celtic.

"I would like Boro supporters to know why I am not in the team for this evening's game in Portugal against Celtic,” Mido said.
"There have been ongoing problems regarding my visa, which I hope to have sorted shortly.
"It could be that the Portuguese embassy require up to a week to amend this situation, thus preventing my ability to travel to Portugal in the very immediate future."
