KEY POINTS:
Injury has forced three players out of the New Zealand men's hockey team to contest three tests against Korea in Christchurch this week.
Brad Shaw and Ben Collier have been ruled out with long-standing injuries while Shea McAleese dislocated his shoulder in a Euro League match and will not join the team.
Midfielder Lloyd Stephenson retains his place in the squad even though he really broke a finger.
Two players have been brought in to cover for the injuries.
They are uncapped Central midfielder Nick Wilson, 17, and Canterbury defender Andy Hayward, 22, who has played three tests.
Both were members of the New Zealand Selection side who played warmup games against Korea over the weekend.
Korea won the first game 2-1 at Porritt Park but the New Zealand side hit back to win the second 3-2 yesterday.
