Newcastle United won't be haunted by a familiar face on Friday night against Nottingham Forest.
Striker Chris Wood, who left the Magpies in January, is ineligible because he is technically still on loan from Newcastle. That loan will turn into a permanent deal at the end of the season.
But Wood would have been sidelined anyway due to an injury suffered in Forest's 3-1 loss at Spurs at the weekend. Forest boss Steve Cooper said today: "Chris would not have been able to play through injury (thigh). He walked off against Spurs.
