OUT
January 15, 2026
Wood (knee) is progressing but is not ready to return yet, manager Sean Dyche told media Thursday. "Woody is making slow but sure progress."
ANALYSIS
There's no clear return date for Wood, but at least he seems to be trending in the right direction after what has been an injury-marred season for the striker. Wood hasn't played since Oct. 18, and Igor Jesus will continue as Forest's starting forward as long as Wood remains out.

Wood (knee) has been training on grass in recent days and is making good progress, coach Sean Dyche said in a press conference, according to Jak Netting from Vavel.
