Stockport County's automatic promotion hopes have been dented after on-loan defender Shaleum Logan was recalled by Manchester City.

The 19-year-old made eight appearances for the Hatters after arriving in February, but has now returned to the Premier League club with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, assistant manager Peter Ward still believes County can close the gap to third-placed Hereford United and secure automatic promotion.

Stockport lost for the first time in 11 games after going down 3-2 to MK Dons last weekend.

"It's very tight at the top of League Two, but we're still in a great position," he told the club's official website.

"If anybody had given us this at the beginning of the season I think we would have snatched their hands off.

"If we win our three remaining games then I think we'll have a very good chance of going straight up.

"I know it's an old cliche but we'll just take one game at a time. Saturday's match at Barnet is so important now - it's massive again."
