Chris Wood is in a rich vein of form for Leeds United, something that he has carried on all season. His 19 league goals have been pivotal in shooting Leeds United into the promotion play-off picture.
Leeds fans have grown used to his goals, with his striking prowess and general all-round play being a massively important part of the way that the Leeds United game is set up. Such has been his impact for the West Yorkshire side, that fans have been rightly worried when looking at the striking and goal options that Leeds have.
That worry may very well come to the fore today, with rumours currently circulating that the big Kiwi captain is missing for today’s trip to Ipswich.
Should the absence of Wood prove to be the case, then Leeds United will have to look for a way to overcome this. There is the likelihood being that either Souleymane Doukara or Marcus Antonsson will lead the attack, possibly both if Garry Monk migrates away from his usual 4-2-3-1 formation of choice.
Leeds fans are already on it on Twitter and offering their comments on this rumour.

Leeds fan Jake is calling it early on this one though – strong smell of faecal matter and a prevailing wind could be in play.
Stay positive until Phil says something about Wood though, could be bullshit
