Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan: Injury to Kris Boyd is nothing to worry about
Scottish striker hobbled off in pre-season friendly...
By Chris Davie
The 26-year-old striker, who signed for Boro from Scottish Premier League champions Rangers this summer, limped off less than half an hour into their 3-0 friendly victory over Bray Wanderers in Ireland.
"It's just a kick - a sore one though." Strachan confirmed on the club’s official website.
Boro will now head back to Teesside to rest before embarking on the next phase of their pre-season regime in Germany.
