Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood has opened up on his injury frustrations as he looks set to sit out New Zealand's international friendly with China on Sunday.
The 31-year-old was left out of the matchday squad altogether for Thursday's goalless draw against the same opposition in Auckland, sitting in the stands for the first leg of a double header. He has been nursing a leg injury in recent weeks.
Wood took a knock in the 3-1 defeat to Tottenham on 11 March after coming on as a second-half substitute. He departed the pitch with a large lump on his thigh and has not played for Forest since - and it is very unlikely he will line out for the national team this week either.
