- Chris Wood returned from a six-month injury lay-off to feature in Nottingham Forest's 1-1 Premier League draw with Aston Villa on 12 April.
- Vitor Pereira praised the New Zealand striker's character and connection with his team-mates, describing the return as feeling like a new signing.
Why it matters: Forest get a first-team striker back from a six-month absence late in the Premier League season, but the home draw with Villa means Pereira's side took only a point from the match where Wood was reintegrated.
