Bruce ponders Bent return for Sunderland against Everton

Darren Bent SUNDERLAND manager Steve Bruce is hoping to have to contend with a major headache when he sits down to pick his team to face Everton tonight. Leading scorer Darren Bent returned to training last week after overcoming the hamstring injury which prevented him from holding on to his ever-present tag this season. Bruce has spent much of the time since he pulled off a s10million swoop for the former Spurs striker worrying about what would happen if he was ever missing. However, his fears have been emphatically dismissed in the last three games, which have seen record signing Asamoah Gyan take up Bent's mantle and score four times.
