Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate will continue to introduce record signing Afonso Alves slowly.
Southgate said: "It's tempting to throw him in but I want to use him at the right time.
"I'm sure he'll give me the nod when he's up to it.
"I've known what my strongest strike force has been up to now but we've got Mido and Afonso coming back."
