Posted : 15 May 2026
Middlesbrough have called for Southampton to be expelled from the Championship play-off final following allegations of spying at their training ground before the semi-final first leg.
The EFL is investigating the claims, although Middlesbrough will not be allowed to participate directly in the hearing process.
Southampton defeated Middlesbrough after extra time to reach the final against Hull City A.F.C., but the match schedule could be affected by the outcome of the case.
