Middlesbrough's Fabio Pereira da Silva: Likely out until October with injury

Fabio is likely to be out until mid-October after suffering a knee injury earlier this month, the Northern Echo reports.

Analysis:

Fabio was injured in the League Cup Second round match versus Fulham on Aug. 24 and is now expected to be out up to six weeks. George Friend and Antonio Barragan most recently occupied the fullback spots for Boro and should continue to do so until Fabio returns.
