He is back from injury, i think, read somewhere that he was/will be called-up for the Nigeria game

EDIT: This article kind of confirms it, so hopefully he can be playing some minutes

Jose likes what he sees , he has been given the wink to train with the current squad ,keep eyes for a possible Fa cup bench maybe or he might get sent out in loan come January,might be worth keeping just in case we get any cb injuries/suspensions and he is under 21 so it dosnt effect prem roster

Boro have mad an enquiry about him also.

Nigeria defender Kenneth Omeruo is poised to join Middlesbrough on loan from Chelsea.

Middlesbrough's Spanish manager Aitor Karanka confirmed a deal is being finalised after their 2-0 loss to Hull City in the FA Cup third round.

Karanka knows Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho well having been his as assistant at Real Madrid.

"I am happy (Omeruo) will come here to help us. I think that he will come until the end of the season," he said.

However any deal for Ghana's Michael Essien seems less likely.

" I said to him [Jose Mourinho] 'listen, can I take Michael Essien' - maybe not, but me and the club are working to take players," he added.

BBC Sport understands the clubs have agreed a deal in principle, with Omeruo set to finalise the move by Monday.

The 20-year-old has been training with the Chelsea first team, but knows he needs regular football to make the Nigeria squad for June's World Cup.

As I thought.

Good luck Kenneth.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Best of luck to him. I honestly thought he was good enough to get a PL loan, but I guess this is better than risking him not getting game time. Best of luck Kenneth

By all accounts did well today in his debut for Middlesborough, I think he started at CB.

At RB actually according to a Boro forum.

"Chalobah and Omeruo set in the team now, that's a upgrade on what we had."

"-----------------Graham------------------

Carayol --------Tomlin ----------adomah

------Leadbitter --------chalobah ------

Friend -----Ayala ----gibson ---omerou

---------------Given/Steele-----------------

Should be the usual starting 11 until may."

"Carayol looked good, as did Omeruo and Chalobah."

Really hope he plays more as a CB rather then a RB because thats not where his future is.

[mccg 1,528]

Hope he has a good 2nd half loan then a prem loan next season

[ja1 1,166]

Looks like it's Omeruo at CB this time
