Wood: 'It Hits Home For Me'

Chris Wood is preparing for an emotional return to Leicester City.

But the former Foxes’ frontman knows he will also have a job to do as the Clarets look to kick-start a revival.

Wood spent two-and-a-half seasons as a Leicester player – getting to know City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who was one of five people who lost their lives in a fatal helicopter crash adjacent to the King Power Stadium a fortnight ago.

The 2016 Premier League champions return to play at home for the first time since the tragedy when they face Burnley on Saturday.
