Wood Recalled By Leicester - Ipswich Town News
Loan striker Chris Wood has been recalled by his parent club Leicester City. The New Zealand international had been due to remain with the Blues until the end of the season, including the play-offs if Town finish in the top six.
The 23-year-old returns to the Foxes as cover for David Nugent, who has suffered a calf injury.
Wood made three starts and five sub appearances for Town without scoring.
