Boro's cup quest may be over but Tomas Mejias can expect to play more games this season, Aitor Karanka has promised.
The Spanish keeper played in all three of the club’s FA Cup ties, winning the man of the match plaudits at Manchester City and Arsenal.
It’s been a huge change in fortunes for the former Real Madrid goalie, who was dropped in September after making a shaky start to the season.
Following a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates, Boro can now fully focus on securing promotion from the Championship.

Dimi Konstantopoulos is Karanka’s current first choice keeper for Championship games, but the head coach says he’ll give Mejias more game time before the end of the season.
“If someone is thinking that Tomas is not going to play more games because we don’t have more cup games they are making a mistake,” he said.
“I don’t just have Tomas and Dimi I have Connor Ripley who is doing very, very well so now it’s Dimi and I trust him but I trust all of my players.”
