MIDDLESBROUGH have announced they will hold an open training session at the Riverside Stadium this Friday.

Aitor Karanka’s squad, minus the players on international duty, will be put through their paces and fans are welcome to come along and watch action.

Doors will open around 10.30am for fans wanting to watch the session.

It represents a rare opportunity to see the Boro stars close-up at the Riverside on a non-matchday, and fans could see some of the 12 new signings to arrive on Teesside this summer, including Jelle Vossen and Yanic Wildschut.

The West Stand Lower, entrances 6 and 7, will be open and food and drink will be available to purchase on the concourse.
