Defender Alex Bangura started on the bench for Middlesbrough in their 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Tuesday.

He’s been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury on his debut at Blackburn but was subbed on in the 90th minute for Lukas Ahlefeld Engel.

At the Riverside, Boro made it four wins in a row from second-half goals from Isaiah Jones and Emmanuel Latte Lath secured Michael Carrick’s side another impressive win. 

Bangura, who was forced in the 68th minute in a defeat to Blackburn Rovers due to hamstring injury, was subbed on late in their win.
