Nottingham Forest’s Star Takes a Tumble …
Nottingham Forest might need to put on their luckiest socks ahead of their Premier League tango with Manchester United. The reason? Their main goal-getter Chris Wood decided to “moonwalk” off the pitch during New Zealand’s triumphant 3-0 serenade over New Caledonia. The match paused as Wood, clearly not auditioning for a Broadway show, hobbled off at 54 minutes—something that’s sure to cause a bit of a giggle-and-wince moment for Forest fans.
With their caped crusader potentially sidelined, it’s time for Forest’s management to perhaps consider sprinkling some magic dust or even a lucky rabbit’s foot onto their squad. Wood has been hammering in goals like a kid in a candy store, sitting pretty with 18 Premier League goals. Last time when Forest visited Old Trafford, he sent United on a rollercoaster ride with a surprise win, so all eyes will be on the ball to see if he recovers in time.
Before they plot a goal-fest against Manchester United, Forest has Brighton & Hove Albion to worry about in their FA Cup gig. While Wood enjoys some well-deserved R&R (that’s rest and recovery—not rock and roll!), the Forest faithful will be hoping he returns in one piece to keep their Champions League dreams alive. Stay tuned for updates because as they say, ‘the show must go on!’
