Brentford have extended the loan spell of Everton striker Chris Long for the Championship Play-Offs.

The 20-year-old has scored four goals in 10 appearances for the Bees and is close to fitness after four weeks out with a leg injury.

Manager Mark Warburton said: "It has been a frustrating few weeks for Chris with a combination of illness and niggling injury.

"However, he is now approaching full fitness and we hope very much that he will have a role to play in the crucial games that lie ahead.

"He is a talented player and hungry to be involved and the type of lad who adds value to the squad."
