New captain Emanuel Pogatetz and midfielder Gary O'Neil have also added to Boro manager Gareth Southgate's woes in the final week of the close season.
Egypt international Mido pulled out of his side's 6-1 demolition of Sparta Rotterdam on Friday with a knock and after missing the club's pre-season tour to Portugal is a major doubt to start at the Riverside this weekend.
Boro, who have turned down an inquiry from SV Hamburg for 25-year-old Mido, have several injury worries.

Southgate meanwhile is pushing Arsenal for a quick decision on his £3million bid for defender Justin Hoyte.
The Boro boss wants the right-back in his line-up against Spurs after selling Luke Young to Aston Villa for £5.5m.
Scout David Mills travelled to watch the defender play the full 90 minutes for Arsenal in their 1-1 draw with Sevilla in Amsterdam on Saturday.
