Oxford United striker Rob Hall has been recalled from his loan spell by West Ham United.

Earlier in the week, the 18-year-old frontman, who has scored six goals in 11 appearances, agreed to extend his loan at the Kassam Stadium.

However, with injury doubts over several players ahead of a busy Christmas programme, the Championship club’s boss Sam Allardyce has brought Hall back with an eye on their Boxing Day game against Birmingham City.
