Louie Barry: Stockport County's Aston Villa loanee out for up to four months

Louie Barry has scored nine goals in 15 League Two appearances for Stockport this season

Stockport County striker Louie Barry has been ruled out for up to four months with a hamstring injury.

The 20-year-old Aston Villa loanee suffered the injury in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Crewe.

"It's gutting for him because of the run he's been on," boss Dave Challinor told BBC Radio Manchester.

Barry had enjoyed a fine start to the season for the League Two leaders, having scored nine goals in 17 appearances so far this season.

That included a run of scoring in seven successive league games, a post-war club record.
