Wood Back In The Fold

Chris Wood is on his way back to Turf Moor following his international return for New Zealand.

Wood played for 76 minutes of the All Whites’ friendly 3-1 defeat against a Republic of Ireland side captained by Clarets team-mate Robbie Brady.

It was a first appearance at international level for two years for Wood – the record goalscorer for his country.

But the in-form Burnley frontman, who has scored five times in his last five Premier League appearances wrapped around a two-match injury absence, will not be involved in the All White’s friendly in Lithuania on Sunday and will report back for training with the Clarets.
