One shot in sub appearance
Wood registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Leeds United.
Analysis: Wood came from the bench but was unable to make an impact as his only shot ended off target. He only managed 11 starts in the Premier League last season and has been put on the bench again. In his 28 minutes he managed one shot and drew one foul.
Starts, scores penalty vs. Brest
Wood (thigh) returned to the starting lineup and scored a penalty in Sunday's friendly against Stade Brestois, a positive sign ahead of the season opener against Leeds United, the club announced.
Analysis: Wood had already been expected to be available after coach Oliver Glasner said the club was taking no risks following a difficult last season, describing his recent issue as more of a precaution after a very minor muscle injury. His 2025-26 campaign was disrupted by injury, limiting him to 15 Premier League appearances and three goals, a sharp fall from the 20 he scored the year before, and this return marks an encouraging step forward. New Zealand's group stage exit at the World Cup had already brought him back early, and Wood is expected to build toward a regular role under new coach Glasner as the season approaches.
