Chris Wood’s loan to Town has been cut short with the striker recalled by Leicester. 

The New Zealand international joined Blues at the end of February in a deal that would have taken him up to the end of the season, including the Play-Offs. 

The Foxes, who lost David Nugent to a calf injury before kick-off in their 2-0 win against Swansea last weekend, have activated a release clause though and Wood is now back at the King Power Stadium and could feature for Nigel Pearson’s side in their crucial trip to Burnley today. 

The 23-year-old made eight appearances for Town in his time at the club, five of them from the bench.
