Wood would be mad not to just cruise through that Bahrain game, in the heat. He has nothing to prove, and should of course be saving himself for this weekend, and Burnley in general.
But there is untold value just having him on the pitch, giving the young players confidence. Take out Wood & Boxall, and that was an inexperienced (senior international footy wise) young starting team.
