Injury forces Bent out of England squad

SUNDERLAND striker Darren Bent has been ruled out of England's Euro 2012 qualifying match with Montenegro tomorrow. Bent sustained a groin injury in training today, adding to England manager Fabio Capello's injury problems ahead of the Wembley match. The severity of the injury is unclear at this stage, and it remains to be seen whether Bent is also unavailable for Sunderland's trip to Blackburn next Monday. England will now line up with Tottenham striker Peter Crouch partnering Wayne Rooney in attack. Capello said: "Darren Bent is out - I think we will play Peter Crouch."
