  5. Boro defender Lenihan to miss start of season

    Edwards: 'A decent performance'

    Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards has confirmed that defender Darragh Lenihan will miss the start of the season with a muscle injury.

    Lenihan, who has not featured for the side in a league game since September 2023, has recently been making his comeback from injury but was not present for the side's 2-2 pre-season draw with Deportivo on Saturday.

    "Unfortunately, Darragh on Tuesday just felt a bit of a muscle pain," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees after the match.

    "I think it's going to be three weeks or so, which is a frustrating one for us and for Darragh because he was doing so well.

    "He felt good going into the training session, just literally passed the ball. That was the mechanism."

    Another player who did not feature was Rav van den Berg, though Edwards confirmed this was also due to injury and not because of any impending transfers.

    The 42-year-old added: "Rav trained part of the session yesterday so not the full session.

    "I'm expecting him to train on Monday."

  8. 'I won't get as many touches but I'll score goals'

    Middlesbrough forward Tommy Conway says he "enjoys" his new role in boss Rob Edwards' tactical set-up.

    The Scotland international scored twice in a 2-2 pre-season draw with Deportivo on Saturday after taking up a more central position than he occupied under former boss Michael Carrick last season.

    But it's a style of play the 22-year-old believes could become fruitful for him over the course of the new season.

    "Since day one, Rob came in and wants a pressing team with high energy up the pitch," Conway told BBC Radio Tees.

    "There were elements of play in the old style where I would tend to come out to the left side a little bit more but that was just the style of play.

    "This is different. Maybe this is me more in the box where I don't get as many touches but I'm in there where it matters and scoring the goals."
