The Nigerian however played for 52 minutes last week Tuesday in the League Cup as his team defeated Colchester United 2-0. He was booked in the 32nd minute of the game.
Sky Sports’ Thomas scooped on Monday that Boro are in talks with Brentford over a loan deal for Onyeka
Brentford secured the services of the seven-cap Nigerian international from Danish outfit FC Midtjylland last summer.

Former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni, who proved to be one of the best African exports to the Premier League, played for Middlesbrough.
