Queens Park Rangers have recalled Max Ehmer from his loan spell at Carlisle United after it was revealed that Danny Simpson would be out injured for a "few weeks".
Rangers revealed today that Simpson has suffered a small fracture in his back, resulting in the return of 21-year-old Ehmer.
"It's a big blow," QPR boss Harry Redknapp told the club's official website.
"Danny has played every game for us this season but he's picked up a back problem in recent weeks and it's got worse."
Ehmer made 12 starts for Carlisle in League One since joining in November, scoring one goal for the Cumbrians.
