Aitor Karanka happy with Middlesbrough squad

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka insists that he is happy with his squad ahead of a hectic schedule in the Championship.

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has insisted that he is happy with his squad ahead of a busy run of fixtures.

Boro play the first of nine games in 29 days on Saturday when they face Charlton Athletic in the Championship.

However, having recently signed midfielder Adam Forshaw from Wigan Athletic, Karanka is pleased with the players available to him.

"I have the squad that I wanted, so I have 22, 23 players who are always ready to play, so I don't think we can say anything negatively about the games that are coming," he told the Evening Gazette.

Middlesbrough are currently in third place in the Championship table, one point adrift of the automatic playoff positions.
