Boro have up to four players on international duty this evening.
Defender Emanuel Pogatetz sustained a hamstring injury in Boro's 2-0 win over QPR last weekend, but has been selected for the Austria squad for their friendly against Denmark.
The injury will be assessed prior to kick off.
Pogi has an impressive record for Austria, being their most capped player by some distance with 37 appearances and two goals, but has been out of action due to a string of injury problems to his knee, face and hamstring.
The centre-back traveled to join the squad ahead of at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium.
Boro striker Chris Killen, who was also sidelined with a hamstring injury and virus, has also been selected for international duty as part of the 17 man New Zealand squad who play Mexico in Los Angeles in a warm up friendly ahead of the World Cup.
Midfielder Barry Robson is part of Craig Levein's squad for his match in charge of Scotland as they take on the Czech Republic at Hampden Park.
If Robson plays he will earn his eighth cap for the Scottish national side, but fellow Scots defender Stephen McManus and striker Lee Miller have been left out of the 24 man squad.
In McManus' case, Levein has indicated that the defender is being rested rather than omitted.
Young Boro full-back Kyle Naughton, on loan on from Tottenham Hotspur made the Under 21 squad for tonight's UEFA European U21 Championship game against Greece, which will take place at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium.
Naughton is looking for his seventh cap at Under 21 level.
Meanwhile former Boro midfielder Lee Cattermole, 21, now with Sunderland, has also made the squad.
