Blues keeper joins Middlesbrough on loan

By

Chelsea goalkeeper Jamal Blackman has joined Middlesbrough on loan until the New Year.

The 20-year-old, who was called up to the England under-21 squad for the first time on Friday, will be at the Riverside Stadium until January 17.

Blackman signed a five-year deal with Chelsea in the summer and has been an unused substitute for four first team matches.

However he is fourth choice behind Thibaut Courtois, Petr Cech and Mark Schwarzer and will gain first-team experience at Boro, where he will join Blues team-mate Kenneth Omeruo.
