Back on bench Hill (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Luton Town.

Impact Hill suffered the ankle injury in January and has been sidelined for more than a month and a half.

Comes off injured in FA Cup Hill had to leave the field after 57 minutes of play Thursday, having picked up an apparent leg injury in their 5-0 win against Swansea in the FA Cup.

Impact Hill, unfortunately, looked to have been in a lot of pain after trying to give his injury a second go following a slip and twist of the leg that caused the injury. It is not what the defender was looking for going into the match, as he has started the club's past four contests across all competitions and appears to be shaping a spot out for himself.

Impact Hill is heading back to his parent club, Bournemouth, as he has been recalled by the club from his loan spell with Blackburn, ending his time in the Championship. The defender had a decent first half of the season with the Rovers, registering 18 appearances while scoring one goal on 13 shots and three assists on eight chances created. He also was decent in the defense, notching 29 interceptions, 33 tackles and 63 clearances. He will now hope to gain some time with Bournemouth's first team once he is back with the squad, depending on what the club does with him, as he may be fitted for another loan elsewhere to continue his development.
