Real Madrid's Woodgate to start running in 2 weeks

Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate will begin running in two weeks' time as he continues his rehab from a long-standing thigh injury.

The England international has been working in the club's gym and has also undergone regular sessions of ultrasound to speed up his recovery.

Real docs say the injury to his left leg is now "80 per cent" cured and that he will be available for first team selection "by the turn of the year".
