Bent sweating on fitness

Tottenham striker Darren Bent is facing an anxious wait to see if he will play again this season after suffering a medial ligament injury to his left knee. The 25-year-old picked up the complaint in the second half of last weekend's defeat at Manchester United and will wear a brace for a fortnight before specialists assess him again but could now miss their final push for European football. Redknapp said: "Darren has had a knee problem that will keep him out for several weeks. He will not be around for a while. "It is a blow for him because he has done well and scored goals. We need him and he needs to play. He has been in good form but what can you do?" "There's a little group of us pushing for seventh. I'd like to do it. If we could do it I think it would be a good achievement to come from the bottom of the league to qualifying for Europe. "I think it's something we'd all be pleased to do. We'll give it our best shot in the last few games and see what we can do."
