Kongolo and Quaner back from injury to boost Huddersfield against Middlesbrough

Posted Tuesday, October 22, 2019 by PA

Huddersfield boss Danny Cowley is hoping to boast a fully-fit squad for Wednesday’s Sky Bet Championship visit of Middlesbrough.

The Terriers drew at home to Blackburn on Saturday to stretch their unbeaten run to four games and they can leapfrog their visitors with victory at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Terence Kongolo (calf), Herbert Bockhorn (hamstring) and Collin Quaner (hip) all missed the weekend game but could play some part against Boro.

Midfielder Juninho Bacuna will be pushing for a start having scored off the bench in Huddersfield’s last three fixtures.

Jonathan Woodgate’s Middlesbrough have taken just one point from their last five outings and will be keen to end that run in West Yorkshire.

The former England international is still unable to call on the services of captain George Friend (knee) after he underwent surgery earlier in the season.

Striker Rudy Gestede (hamstring) is also sidelined while there are doubts over the fitness of Hayden Coulson (knee).

Middlesbrough remain winless on the road so far this season, having taken just two points on their travels.
