Middlesbrough boss Pulis waits on Assombalonga ahead of Ipswich Town clash

Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis is hoping that Britt Assombalonga will be fit for their English Championship game against Ipswich Town on Tuesday evening.

The 25-year-old suffered a knock in their 1-1 stalemate with Hull City on Saturday, although he played with the injury and lasted for the entire duration.
