Marvin Emnes was a notable absentee when the Boro players reported back for pre-season training today.
The Dutch playmaker is expected to join Premier League club Swansea City in the not too distant future.
Boro and the Swans are believed to be close to completing a deal that will see Emnes end a largely frustrating five-year stay on Teesside.
The majority of the existing first team squad were able to take part in a training session at Rockliffe Park on Monday evening.
Lukas Jutkiewicz, strongly linked with a move away from the club during the current window, was present, as was Kei Kamara, who was critical of Boro on Twitter last month.
Both seemed in good spirits as they were put through their paces by Aitor Karanka and his coaching staff, including assistant head coach Craig Hignett.
Absent through injury were Mustapha Carayol and Rhys Williams, while Albert Adomah has been excused from training for the time being due to his World Cup commitments with Ghana.
The players who trained were: Jason Steele, George Friend, Grant Leadbitter, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Christian Burgess, Emmanuel Ledesma, Luke Williams, Seb Hines, Andy Halliday, Dean Whitehead, Ben Gibson, Curtis Main, Richard Smallwood, Jonathan Woodgate, Jacob Butterfield, Dimi Konstantopoulos, Adam Reach, Dani Ayala, Kei Kamara, Lee Tomlin, Bryn Morris, David Atkinson, Mark Kitching, Ryan Brobbel, Bradley Fewster, Tomas Mejias, Charlie Wyke.
