On the other hand some of the verbage in 3-3-8d seems to imply that the injured player cannot return.. "Once a team has gone short handed and another eligible player is available that player may fill the empty space in the lineup.

Hmmmmm....

OK, anyone have the answer to this?
I, for one, would like to know....
