O'Neil sidelined by knee surgery

Middlesbrough's Gary O'Neil
O'Neil was replaced in the 74th minute against Spurs

Midfielder Gary O'Neil will miss Middlesbrough's final four Premier League matches of the season after undergoing knee surgery.

The 24-year-old sustained lateral ligament damage during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

Boro's head of medicine Grant Downie told the club website: "Gary is expected to be available for pre-season summer training."

O'Neil joined Boro from Portsmouth for £5m in August 2007.
