Chris Wood has given an update on his return from injury.
The Nottingham Forest striker has not played since mid-October because of a knee injury that required surgery.
But the Reds’ 20-goal top scorer last season has provided a “positive” update on the progress of his recovery.
“It’s been not a nice time, injuries isn’t great,” he said.
“The manner of the injury has not been perfect because we’ve tried different things and had setbacks and having to go down different routes of surgery and things like that, so, it’s not been smooth sailing.

“It’s frustrating not being able to help the team, especially when I’m watching on the sidelines and things like that and knowing I could potentially help if I was involved.
“But I’ve got to make sure I get myself right, get myself ready, so I can then help the team when I get back and fit.”

“Had some positive news from the surgeon to say I can go on to the next stages and things like that, so it’s better for my rehab now,” he added.
“It’s getting better day by day, which is great.
“I’m thinking that I need to work hard to be able to get myself back, fit, right, ready for the end of the season and then on to the offseason and into next year.”
Wood was sidelined for the entirety of Sean Dyche’s short reign at the City Ground, but his return will be a boost for the club’s next manager, with Vitor Pereira expected to take charge.
