Harry Redknapp admits that it is doubtful that Jonathan Woodgate will play again this season.

The centre-back is still in America for treatment on a groin problem.

He said: “This season? It’s going to be doubtful. Please God he does but I wouldn’t want to say he will play this season.

“They are still trying to find the cure for it so with the time it takes to get fit and ready to play it will be difficult.”
