Ryan Thomas (PEC Zwolle, Netherlands), Bill Tuiloma (Marseille, France) and Glen Moss (Wellington Phoenix) return to the international fold and Chris Wood will captain the side in Reid's absence. "We have a good squad of players who are more than capable of doing the job for this window," said Hudson. We have a very good squad coming to New Zealand and we are looking forward to these games."
