Wood joined his Nottingham Forest teammates at the club's preseason training camp in Portugal, the club announced.
Analysis:Wood took an extended break following his participation with New Zealand at the World Cup, where he started all three matches and set up two goals in an opening 2-2 draw with Iran before the All Whites were eliminated following losses to Egypt and Belgium. His arrival in the Algarve gives him the chance to link up with the squad ahead of upcoming friendlies against Vitoria and Sporting CP. Forest have already opened preseason with a win over Blackburn Rovers. Wood is expected to build toward match fitness as he begins preparations for the new campaign.
