Leadbitter on way back

Middlesbrough captain Grant Leadbitter has had his first training session of the season.

The midfielder has been missing since hernia surgery at the end of last season.

“Grant is training with the team, so at the moment we have everyone,” said Boro manager Aitor Karanka. “We want to have him fit as soon as possible. It is just about getting him fit.”
