Barnet have recalled Australian central defender Daniel Leach from his extended loan with Andy Hessenthaler's Dover Athletic ... 24 hours after agreeing that the 24-year-old central defender could stay for another month.

The Blue Square South club reported that Leach and 20-year- old Bees midfielder Joe Tabiri would be staying "until the final ball has been kicked this season, including the play-offs".

The decision to bring Leach back followed concerns about the fitness of 36-year-old Gary Breen ahead of tomorrow's home game against Macclesfield Town and Tuesday's visit to Dagenham and Redbridge.Breen needed attention to a knee injury after the Easter Monday defeat of Chesterfield.
