He's recovering from a long term injuryDoes anyone know what has happened to Michael Woods? He seems to have dissapeared and have heard nothing about him for a while. Thought he was a really promising player and now we are hearing nothing.
i know both woods and taiwo had really bad injuries in the past couple of years, but i think woods has been back for most of this season. looking on the official site his stats for this season in the ressies are 3+1.I've been looking to try and find out where I got the news cos I read it only a couple of weeks ago but can't find it anywhere. Two reserve players were mentioned. Apologies I can't be more specific
True. I believe it's run mainly by Neil Barnett which would explain why.Had a look on the official website, but they don't mention anything since the close season. That site is sh*te!
I wasn't aware of this. Wasn't he out long term with a broken leg a year or two ago? I think he'd not long been back from that injury, so he really is very unlucky.FOUND IT!!Programme notes from last Saturdays game where apparently we won 7-2. In the blurb about the reserves it says:
"Michael Woods and Adam Philip who both have long term ankle ligament injuries, are scheduled to return to training towards the end of the month if all goes well"
It's not often I'm wrong but I'm right this time!!
Good luck to the lad after all his injury woes. His chance with us might have been and gone, but I hope he finds a decent future elsewhere if that is the case.Notts County manager Paul Ince has signed Chelsea midfielder Michael Woods on loan until January.Woods has been at Stamford Bridge for four years but has had a serious knee injury and has only made two substitute appearances in the FA Cup in that time.
Ince told BBC Radio Nottingham: "He's a Chelsea player so he'll be able to pass the ball - that's for sure.
"He has all the attributes to be a good player and he's only 20 so has time on his side too."
Woods came through the youth ranks at Leeds United but moved to Chelsea in controversial circumstances in 2006.
Leeds agreed a settlement with Chelsea after dropping a complaint that they tried to poach three academy scholars.
Woods has also been given permission to play in Saturday's FA Cup second round tie against Bournemouth at Meadow Lane.
