Middlesbrough star Tommy Conway fights back tears as he recalls moment injury severity hit him

Middlesbrough forward Tommy Conway reflected on his difficult injury recovery during a 20-minute documentary on the club's YouTube channel. Conway suffered a stress fracture in his ankle during the play-off semi-final second leg against Southampton, which required surgery and ruled him out of both the play-off final and the World Cup.

Conway explained that the emotional weight of missing the World Cup and Middlesbrough's subsequent play-off final defeat to Hull City fully hit him on the drive home with his parents. He spent the remainder of the summer dividing his time between rehabilitation at Middlesbrough and his family home.
