Middlesbrough defender Jonathan Woodgate is undergoing treatment after picking up an injury in training.

The 26-year-old, currently on loan to his home-town club from Real Madrid, is understood to have been under the care of the club's medics for the last couple of days.

Boro were not commenting on the situation on Sunday amid reports Woodgate will be sidelined for up to three weeks by a groin problem. However, it is understood the injury could involve his thigh.
