Chris Wood leaves Forest game with knee problem in blow to New Zealand ahead of World Cup

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood was forced out of Thursday's Europa League quarterfinal game against Porto with a knee injury in what also could be a concern for New Zealand's World Cup plans. The New Zealand captain was struck on the right knee by Jan Bednarek's high kick, which resulted in a red card for the Porto defender in the eighth minute. Wood, who only recently returned from a six-month absence because of a knee injury, had played on before needing treatment in the 15th minute.
