Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish is urging his players to fill the void left by Darren Bent following his ankle injury setback.
McLeish has challenged the likes of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Stephen Ireland to make up for the loss of Bent at Villa.
McLeish said: "You don't want to see any player have that bad luck. It is a big loss to us, such is his prowess as a goalscorer, but it gives an opportunity to others.
"We have other players who have to take the responsibility, players such as Gabby Agbonlahor and Stephen Ireland. That's the great challenge for them.
"It's also a chance for them to show they can handle that type of responsibility."
