MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Leading the line Sunday Wood (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brighton.

Impact Wood returns after missing out on Forest's last five matches through injury. The forward had started five straight contests, scoring five goals, prior to the injury.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain Wood (hamstring) is a doubt for Sunday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Missing fifth straight match Wood (hamstring) is not in the squad to face Liverpool on Saturday.

Impact Wood was set for an extended spell on the sideline and appears to be close to a recovery after about a month out.

Wood had scored five goals in five matches before the injury and could be the first choice upon his return to full fitness.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Out for extended period Wood (hamstring) is expected to miss the next seven to eight weeks of action with his current injury, John Percy of the Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

Impact Wood's loss could have a major effect on a club that is currently in the battle of avoiding the relegation zone, as they will now be without their top scorer and starting striker around the next eight matches in Premier League play. This will now leave the club limited in the attack, with new signing Giovanni Reyna possibly having to step into more of a forward role despite normally playing as an attacking midfielder, especially with loanee Divock Origi still out for another two weeks with a strain. The club will now hope for a speedy recovery and a return sometime in early April from Wood, hoping to avoid any setbacks in his rehabilitation process.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Wood (hamstring) is not in the Forest side to face Bournemouth on Sunday.

Dealing with hamstring issue Wood is in doubt for Sunday's match against Bournemouth after picking up a hamstring issue in Wednesday's loss to Arsenal, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Impact Wood's injury was not given much detail by their manager, so it is hard to determine the seriousness or a timetable for the issue. The club will hope it is only minor, as Wood has started in their past five matches in a rich vein of form, with five goals over that span. If he does get chosen for the team sheet Sunday, it is hard to say where he will line up, as the team may not want to risk further injury but will also want their striker in such great form on the field. However, there is still a good chance he will be left out after carrying the doubtful tag, with Taiwo Awoniyi replacing him in the starting XI after his return to the team.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Scores versus Brentford Wood scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created four chances during Sunday's 3-2 loss against Brentford.

With five goals and one assist over his last four starts, Wood will try to keep adding to his account during Jan. 30 home clash against Arsenal.
