McClaren open to Woodgate
|
England coach Steve McClaren has hinted that Jonathan Woodgate could be on the brink of an international call-up as he continues to rejuvenate his career at Middlesbrough.
The Real Madrid stopper has excelled during his short time on loan at The Riverside, and has even captained his home-town club under new boss Gareth Southgate.
"Jonathan has always been held in high regard throughout the game as a fantastic centre-half," McClaren told Sky Sports News.
"Unfortunate with injuries over the last few years but certainly he has got an opportunity to play again at Middlesbrough, in The Premier League, in the spotlight.
"As long as he keeps away from injuries he will be a fantastic player and certainly a player I am keeping an eye on."
