Aston Villa striker Darren Bent admits he's frustrated by his injury problems.

The 27-year-old admits it has been a frustrating campaign for him on a personal level, but he has given no indication that he is looking to move on.

He said: "It has been a frustrating time for me with injuries but I am now going in the right direction.

"Long-term I don't think it was anything serious. I probably need to do a bit more work in the gym to get things stronger and just take it from there really.

"Hopefully that's the last of my injury problems and I can look forward to some more time on the pitch and scoring goals now."
