Rob Edwards became Middlesbrough head coach in June

Middlesbrough have cancelled their pre-match press conference with head coach Rob Edwards.

He was due to face the media at 13:00 GMT ahead of Boro's home game with Birmingham City on Saturday but that will now not take place.

Edwards is a leading candidate for the vacant post at Wolverhampton Wanderers and on Thursday the Teessiders rejected the Premier League club's approach to speak to Edwards.

Since replacing Michael Carrick at Boro in the summer, Edwards has led the side to third with just two defeats in their opening 14 Championship games.
