Middlesbrough's Julio Arca is flying back to Argentina to try to find the solution to his ongoing foot problem, reports the Evening Gazette. The midfielder is visiting the specialist who helped sort out his troublesome knee injury last season.

The 27-year-old suffered a foot injury in a pre-season friendly at Hibernian in early August.

He attempted a comeback but the pains have returned and Arca has been told to rest further.
