McLeish On Darren Bent

Alex McLeish has said that Darren Bent should be fit for the Euros if Roy Hodgson wishes, but as expected, he definitely won’t be involved against Norwich.

Speaking to the Official Site when giving us an injury update (which I’ll do shortly), McLeish said of our record signing:

‘Darren has no chance, he’s not fit for Norwich. He’s working hard in training, but he’s not joined the group yet. It’s important that Darren gets a good summer behind him and regroups for the start of next season. I think it’s 19 games the big fella has missed. God knows how many goals he’d have got us and maybe took us into that little comfort zone. Hopefully he makes a full recovery in the summer and he’s ready all guns blazing for next season.’

Commenting on the European Championships, he added:

‘Roy would have a better idea in terms of Darren. If there were six weeks of the season to go, he’d certainly be back within those six weeks. But whether he goes to the Euros would be Roy’s decision. He could be fine and available, put it that way.’
