Woodgate has successfully recovered from a long-term thigh injury and should be
ready to train with the rest of the team in a maximum of two weeks, according to
club medical staff.
Doctor Juan Carlos Hernandez said that the
England international, who signed for Real for ？0 million in August, was being
subjected to a pre-season training regime in order to recover his fitness after
a five-month injury layoff.
'He's working really hard,' Hernandez told the club's website. 'In two
weeks he should be able to train together with the rest of the team and soon
after that he should be ready to play.
'He may even surprise us and be ready to train with the others next week
but we have to take it one step at a time.'
The 24-year-old England international has not played a competitive match
since he tore a thigh muscle in a league match against Chelsea in
April.
