Single tile replacement in shower

I had a plumbing leak in my shower, and the plumber punched a hole through one of the tiles to find and repair it. The tiles are 8x12 and he removed most of one along with the layer supporting it (cement board?) leaving a hole in the wall looking at the supply pipes, but no studs.
I have a few tiles left over from when I redid the bathroom thankfully, but what is the best method for installing the tile?
Can I just glue some wood strips to the back of the remaining sub layer and then screw a cement board patch before putting the tile in with thinset?
