Impact Hirst returned from a knee injury, missing the opening three weeks of the Premier League. The forward is now fit once more, and should play a part. Despite his role as the starting striker last season it's likely he falls to the bench more often than not following the new signings in the attack.

Impact Hirst wasn't expected to return until October but he has seen a massive improvement in health to catapult him up to a possible return Saturday. However, he will still need a late fitness test, with his availability still not confirmed. He has yet to debut this season, so this would be a huge boost, although he will likely only see time off the bench in his return despite starting in 24 of his 26 appearances last campaign.

Impact Hirst was a crucial contributor in the Championship, and was expected to play some role in the top flight. A serious knee injury cut his pre-season short, but he is continuing to recover. With the bevy of new attacking signings in the team it's possible that Hirst won't have a first team to return to even when deemed fully fit.

Impact Hirst was set to see a specialist following an injury to his knee in a friendly around a week ago, with that specialist having decided to have the defender receive surgery on his issues. This will leave him out for a decent portion of time, with a return not expected for around two months if everything goes to plan, although a setback could see him miss more time. That said, they will hope for a speedy recovery, as he is set to serve in a decent role after bagging seven goals and seven assists in the previous season.

Impact Hirst was already confirmed to have picked up a knee injury following a friendly last week, with that issue looking to be somewhat of an issue as he is now set to visit a specialist. A return date has not been announced for the player, with the team still waiting on his further testing, although it looks unlikely he will be fit for the start of the season. That said, there is a decent chance Liam Delap gets the start on opening day when they face Liverpool on Aug. 17.

This will be something to monitor heading into the new season, as he is set to see decent time, starting in 24 of his 26 appearances last campaign. That said, they will hope for only minor issues, although they will have to wait for the results of his scan to be released.
