Highlights

  • Middlesbrough has had an impressive winning streak in the Championship, climbing from the bottom of the table to ninth place.
  • Tommy Smith, a key defender for Boro, has suffered a serious Achilles injury and may miss the rest of the season.
  • The team will have to find a replacement at right-back, with options including Rav van den Berg and Anfernee Dijksteel, but Smith's absence will be a significant blow.
