Robert Green has returned to the Queens Park Rangers starting lineup for today's Championship match against Middlesbrough.

The Hoops' keeper replaces Brian Murphy for Harry Redknapp's side after overcoming a rib injury, while Danny Simpson is fit enough for a place on the bench after returning to training in the week.

Jermaine Jenas misses out for the visiting side, however, after failing to shake off a persistent hamstring injury.

Middlesbrough are without the suspended Grant Leadbitter for the Championship clash at the Riverside Stadium, and Muzzy Carayol is another absentee after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament last weekend.

Middlesbrough: Konstantopoulos, Chalobah, Gibson, Adomah, Varga, Kamara, Butterfield, Whitehead, Graham, Omeruo, Friend
Subs: Steele, Williams, Ledesma, Main, Morris, Atkinson, Tomlin

Queens Park Rangers: Green, Morrison, Hill, Carroll, Keane, Yun, Onuoha, Barton, Hughes, Kranjcar, Benayoun
Subs: Murphy, Simpson, Hoilett, Zamora, O'Neil, Donaldson, Petrasso
