Middlesbrough winger, Mustapha Carayol, is set to be sent out on-loan in a bid to boost his confidence.
Carayol, 26, returned to training in February after lengthy lay out due to a cruciate ligament injury.
He was left out of the team which beat Oldham Athletic 3-1 at Boundary Park.
Previous loan spells
Since returning from injury he has been unable to make his way back into the team and spent some time on-loan at Brighton at the end of last season to give him some playing time.
During his time at the Amex, he made five appearances for the Seagulls.
Boro boss, Aitor Karanka, admitted Boro will not be able to give him enough playing time and the pair agreed a loan move would be best.
It is unknown whether Carayol is in the long-term plans for Middlesbrough. He extended his contract by two years in April and Karanka claimed he can be a 'very important player' for the club.
Carayol joined Middlesbrough in 2012 from Bristol Rovers and has scored 11 goals in 50 appearances for the club.
He was a key part of Karanka's team when the Spaniard first arrived at the club as he scored five goals before he suffered his cruciate ligament injury at Bournemouth.
He is also part of the Gambian national team after making his debut in June against Uganda.
Coventry City reportedly interested
A possible reunification with former Boro boss, Tony Mowbray, at Coventry City has been suggested but Mowbray confirmed it would be 'too difficult' financially to bring him to the club.
Carayol will be become the fourth Middlesbrough player out on loan, the other three are Bryn Morris who is at Coventry City, Connor Ripley who is at Motherwell and Jonathan Burn who is at Oldham Athletic.
Middlesbrough play host to Bolton Wanderers in their first home game of the new Championship season.
