Injured Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood is “working hard” in a bid to be fit for the start of the new season.
The 31-year-old has been sidelined since March after undergoing surgery on a thigh injury. He is not expected to return until mid-July at the earliest but is eager to make sure he is ready for the 2023/24 Premier League campaign kicking off a month later.
Wood took a knock in only his seventh game for the Reds. He was forced off just six minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 3-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur and was left with a huge lump on his thigh.
