Woodgate has completed the healing of his lesion
As has become habitual in these last few months, the player Jonathan Woodgate was examined last Wednesday in Finland by doctor Orava, considered to be one of the highest medical authorities in the world on the subject of tendon and muscular lesions. After various tests and examinations in Finland he underwent an exploration and a biopsy to check to well-being and the complete healing of the left straight femoral muscle. The player, who came back to Madrid on Thursday, will follow a plan designed by doctor Orava with the objective of being fully recovered before the end of the season.
The recovery of Jonathan Woodgate is going according to the plans of the Club Medical Services. In fact, before visiting Finland this week to be examined by doctor Orava, and more precisely in the training session before the match against F.C. Barcelona (on the 9th of April), the English defender could be seen kicking the ball in the first minutes of the session, though wearing training shoes instead of football boots."
