The Spaniard didn’t travel with the team for their game with
Charlton after he reportedly stormed out of a team meeting on Friday.
Boro found no solace on the field as they were beaten 2-0 by
a Charlton side who hadn’t won at home for 10 games before this fixture.
The game was delayed by five minutes due to protests from
the home fans against Chairman Roland Duchâtelet.
At the start of the game the Charlton supporters throw black
and white beach balls on to the pitch, while many disrupted the game by blowing
whistles throughout the match.
It didn’t distract the home side who recorded a surprise 2-0
victory thanks to goals from Jorge Teixeira and Callum Harriott.
Despite the victory the Addicks are still five points from
safety with nine games to go.
Boro remain second but could drop down to fourth on Tuesday
if Hull and Brighton win their home fixtures.
Assistant manager Steve Agnew took charge of the side in
Karanka’s absence, however Boro struggled to create chances in a lacklustre
performance.
The closest the visitors came to scoring was when Charlton
defender Rod Fanni turned Emilio Nsue’s cross towards his own goal but
goalkeeper Nick Pope kept it out.
After the break Teixeira headed home Johann Gudmundsson’s
corner on 57 minutes before Harriott capitalised on a defensive mistake 10
minutes from time.
