"Real" Madrid representative officially confirmed to the press on Wednesday that the season of team defender Jonathan Woodgate is over before it even started. "Jonathan Woodgate will miss the rest of the season. We will continue to actively monitor his injured muscle," said a club representative to BBC. The player, bought for €20 million last August, still hasn't recovered from a thigh injury he suffered nine months ago while playing for "Newcastle". Although the team's medical staff conducted a pre-season medical examination stating that the player should recover quickly, their predictions did not come true. Just before his planned debut in October, the player's injury resurfaced once again."
