Apparently his latest spell under the knife has gone as well as all the rest:-
“Operation a 100% success ... treatment and rehab going really well …hope to be back in the squad in January… Harry and Spurs have been brilliant and I owe them.”
Which suggests Woodgate will be back next season - for half a game - and come down with gout, syphilis or Amazon swamp-rat fever.
All of which he picked up at St James' Park and missed games.
Yes, perhaps one day he will be back fit and ready for the rigours of a Premiership season.
PERHAPS!
