Bent out of Bantams Clash

The product of the Ipswich Town academy has been named in the England Under 21 squad for their game against Turkey this coming Friday, and should Bent be fit, he will travel with the rest of the England squad to take part in the game.

Speaking of the youngsters recovery, Town boss Joe Royle said: "Darren was meant to join up with England this week but he is still struggling with a knee injury. We will have to see what happens there but either way we will be without him on Saturday."

Bent picked up the Injury at Sunderland and missed yesterdays game against Rotherham.
