Hellberg reveals Middlesbrough injury blow after win over Wolves

Rokas Pukstas is set to be sidelined for a number of weeks after suffering an injury in training during the international break.

The midfielder joined Middlesbrough from Hajduk Split this summer and had begun to work his way into Kim Hellberg’s side.

Pukstas made his Boro debut from the bench in last month’s Championship win over QPR and also featured as a substitute in the Carabao Cup third-round defeat at Crystal Palace.

But he is now set for a spell out on the sidelines.

“He is injured,” Hellberg confirmed after Middlesbrough’s home win over Wolves.

“Unfortunately, he injured himself during the break, so he is out.”
