"Hellberg and his players stayed in Hampshire on Tuesday night before flying back to Teesside. They are scheduled to congregate for a squad meeting on Thursday before returning to full training on Friday. Before Tuesday's semi-final second leg, Hellberg said he had planned every day up until the final and would be organising behind-closed-doors games to help his key midfielder Hayden Hackney's attempt to be fit for Wembley after two months out with a calf injury."
Middlesbrough are scheduled to return to training on Friday to be ready for a potential playoff final against Hull at Wembley the following week. After losing a semi-final to Southampton, Middlesbrough are seeking action against Southampton following an allegation that William Salt, an analyst, was caught spying on Kim Hellberg’s team at their Rockliffe Park base near Darlington. Southampton has been charged with misconduct by the English Football League, and an independent disciplinary commission will decide in the coming days. The commission can impose penalties including fines, point deductions, or expulsion from the playoffs. The EFL cites a prior case involving drone spying at the Paris Olympics, where a resolution occurred within seven days, and hopes for a similarly fast outcome, while noting an appeal process.
