    All Whites captain Chris Wood is expected to return from injury by April

    All Whites captain Chris Wood is expected to return from injury by April


    The Herald reports his club Nottingham Forest are planning for him to appear by then, which also narks positive news for New Zealand's World Cup football campaign.

    Wood hasn't played since mid-October.

    His physical status has become a preoccupation over recent months, given his all-encompassing influence within the New Zealand team.
