Yakubu denied Boro work permit

The 22-year-old, as expected, has failed in his initial attempt to get the permit because he has not played the required 75% of games for Nigeria in the last two years.
However, Boro have been preparing all along for an appeal against that automatic decision, and that will be heard on Monday.
The club, who were not commenting on the matter today, remain confident of a successful outcome after building up a dossier, including a letter from the Nigerian Football Association confirming that he would have played more often had it not been for a disciplinary dispute, to support its case.
Yakubu is due to formally complete his ?.5million move to the Riverside Stadium from Portsmouth tomorrow and is expected to report for pre-season training with the rest of his new team-mates on Monday.
Today's development will have come as no surprise to the Teessiders, who have prior experience of the work permit system.
They have argued their case successfully with both Alen Boksic and Juninho in the recent past, and although they were unable to get a permit for South African striker Benni McCarthy, they do not foresee a problem with Yakubu.
The player fell out with the Nigerian FA when he was alleged to have broken a curfew while on international duty, but Boro are confident that his performances for Pompey since his arrival from Maccabi Haifa in January 2003 have established his quality and state his own case.
Boro will be more concerned about the situation surrounding another new signing, Austrian defender Emanuel Pogatetz, who may miss the start of their UEFA Cup campaign following a red card while playing for Spartak Moscow.
Pogatetz, on loan at Spartak from Bayer Leverkusen, was dismissed in his final game in Russia for a tackle on a Shikkin Yaroslavl player which resulted in his opponent suffering a double fracture of his leg.
The Russian Football Association on Thursday handed out a 24-week ban for Pogatetz as punishment.
The Premier League is not obliged to enforce the ban in England but UEFA may do so, ruling him out of Boro's European games.
