Defender no Long-er at Stanley

The 20-year-old, who has returned to Burnley, impressed in his time at the Crown Ground and manager John Coleman was looking to extend the deal until the end of then season.

Long will be out for three to four weeks, meaning the Reds could be forced to look elsewhere to bring in another defender on loan or there is the possibility Long could return before the January 31 transfer window deadline.
